During metastasis, migrating breast cancer stem cells undergo a loss of polarity leading to
an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Gupta et al.(2009) use this attribute of cancer
stem cells to develop a high-throughput screen, which successfully identifies small
molecules that specifically inhibit cancer stem cell proliferation through the induction of
differentiation.
