Inflammatory Auxo-Action in the Stem Cell Division Theory of Cancer
June 2023
Studysummary In this review, researchers concluded that chronic inflammation perpetually activates stem cells, allowing DNA damage accumulation and potentially promoting cancer development and metastasis by converting stem cells into cancer cells.

The document is a peer review of a manuscript titled "Inflammatory auxo-action in the stem cell division theory of cancer". The initial version of the manuscript had issues with clarity, repetition, and undefined abbreviations. The paper aimed to explore the impact of inflammatory responses on cancer stem cell transition and progression. After revisions, the reviewers were satisfied with the changes made by the authors, leading to the acceptance of the manuscript. The reviewers suggested improvements such as revising the abstract for clarity, providing more background information on the effect of inflammatory responses on stem cells and cancer progression, discussing the role of different immune cells in tumor microenvironment regulation, and providing more information about the pathways responsible for cell survival and proliferation.
