Abstract: The present application discloses a method for identifying an agent for the treatment or prevention of cancer or metastatic cancer comprising the steps of contacting stem cell with a potential agent, and identifying an agent that induces differentiation, or inhibits stem cell pluripotency or growth of the stem cell, wherein such agent is determined to be an anti-cancer agent.
Abstract: The present application describes a method for inducing or maintaining pluripotency in a cell by contacting the cell with a biological or chemical species that increases MUC1* activity.
Abstract: The present application discloses a cell culture media for growth, maintenance and induction of reversion to a less mature state of a cell comprising a MUC1* activating ligand.
Abstract: The present application discloses a method for inducing cells to gain characteristics of naïve stem cell state comprising culturing the cells in the presence of a MUC1* activator.
Abstract: The present application discloses a method for stimulating or enhancing proliferation of a population of cells by activating MUC1 receptor on the cells.
