The Economist article mentions that Tykerb was shown to work on cancer stem cells - this is great news and shows the promise of this drub in breast cancer treatment. I'm currently taking in as part of my neoadjuvant chemo and hope that it's doing its job!
Thank you for posting all this research here.

is a gamma secretase inhibitor which interferes with the notch pathway, which is felt to be essential for cancer stem cells.
Dr. Max Wicha has been talking about using gamma secretase inhibitors as cancer stem cell specific drugs for years--this particular one has been studied quite a while as it has been under development against Alzheimer's
Rich sounds like you have now discovered the ...
