Both embryonic stem cells and cancer cells are (1) rapid-growing and (2) usually undifferentiated. Undifferentiated means that they are very primative cells which have not acquired a specific function such as nerve cells, muscle cells, lung cells, etc.

∙ 14y agoCancer cells (as we call them) are actually plain normal cells really. However "cancer" cells have had their DNA structure mutated or altered and begin to multiply at a rate faster than that of a normal cell. Essentially creating an overgrowth that could result in a tumor. Both are exactly alike, but one had its DNA altered and the other doesn't. Now you see why we haven't cured cancer eh...

∙ 12y agoBoth of them are effective and can cure life-threatening diseases like leukemia and other forms of cancers. The big difference is there is a need to kill an embryo to harvest its stem cells, which is unacceptable, while adult stem cells can be harvested from a newborn's umbilical cord and bone marrow.

∙ 13y agoIn non-cancer cells, disorazole C1 induced a prolonged mitotic arrest, followed by mitotic slippage, as confirmed by live cell imaging and cell cycle analysis. This mitotic slippage was associated with cyclin B degradation, but did not require p53. Four assays for apoptosis, including western blotting for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, microscopic analyses for cytochrome C release and annexin V staining, and gel electrophoresis examination for DNA laddering, were conducted and demonstrated little induction of apoptosis in non-cancer cells treated with disorazole C1. On the contrary, we observed an activated apoptotic pathway in cancer cells, suggesting that normal and malignant cells respond differently to disorazole C1.
Our studies demonstrate that non-cancer cells undergo mitotic slippage in a cyclin B-dependent and p53-independent manner after prolonged mitotic arrest caused by disorazole C1. In contrast, cancer cells induce the apoptotic pathway after disorazole C1 treatment, indicating a possibly significant therapeutic window for this compound

∙ 13y agook, a cancer just sucks and is really really really really bad.........sooo yea and noncancerous cells are pretty good okay?? but they are both something to do with science which is what im not good at sooo yea

∙ 12y agoBoth adult and embryonic stem cells can cure diseases that are considered malignant. However, adult stem cells are more recommended than the latter because of its legal procedures in harvesting (no need of killing an embryo). These type of stem cells can be found in bone marrow, mammary gland, blood, umbilical cord, lining of the nose and human testicles.

∙ 13y agoPart of the definition of cancer is that it is an uncontrolled growth of cells. The similarity is that they are both cells. I believe that cancer cells take over healthy cells and multiply.

Is the percentage of cells in the resting stage is higher in cancerous cells than normal cells?
No, cancer cells are more active than normal cells. Cancer cells are always dividing at a faster rate than normal cells.
Does a cancer cell have a nucleas?
Of course,they have a nucleus.They are like normal cells but divide infinitely.
How is the behaviour of cancer cells different from that normal cells?
Normal cells divide in an orderly way to produce more cells only when the body needs them, whereas cancer cells continue to be created without control or order.
Does the cell cycle become uncontrolled in cancer?
Yes
Do cancer cells reproduce?
Cancer cells reproduce the same way as normal cells do, by mitosis. What separates cancer cells from normal cells, is that their reproduction is uncontrolled and proceeds when it should not. They therefore constantly go through the cell cycle and reproduce.
What does bladder cancer do to the normal cells?
Bladder cancer will force normal cells to divide uncontrollably.
One difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell is that?
a. cancer cells divide uncontrollably. b. normal cells cannot make copies of DNA. c. cancer cells cannot make copies of DNA. d. normal cells divide uncontrollably. (A) cancer cells divide uncontrollably

Describe how cancer cells differ from normal cells both structurally and in cell activity?
Cancer cells differ from normal cells structurally as they look majorly clumped with unusual patterns or formations. Cancer cells differ in cell activity compared to normal cells greatly as they are constantly growing and dividing while normal cells do not and stop growing and dividing when touching another cell.
How are cancer cells different from normal cells in the lung tissue?
Cancer cells and normal cells in lung tissue differ in several key aspects, primarily due to genetic mutations and alterations in cellular behavior that drive the development and progression of cancer. Here are some of the fundamental differences between cancer cells and normal lung cells: Uncontrolled Growth and Division: Cancer Cells: Cancer cells have lost the normal regulatory mechanisms that control cell growth and division. They divide and replicate at an abnormally rapid rate, leading to the formation of tumors. Normal Cells: Normal lung cells follow a controlled and regulated process of growth and division, ensuring that new cells are produced only when needed. Genetic Mutations: Cancer Cells: Cancer cells often harbor genetic mutations or alterations in their DNA. These mutations can activate oncogenes (genes that promote cell growth) and inhibit tumor suppressor genes (genes that regulate cell division and prevent tumor formation). Normal Cells: Normal lung cells have intact and functional DNA that maintains the proper balance between cell growth and cell death. Loss of Apoptosis: Cancer Cells: Cancer cells can evade apoptosis, which is a programmed cell death mechanism that eliminates damaged or abnormal cells. This allows cancer cells to survive and accumulate, contributing to tumor growth. Normal Cells: Normal lung cells undergo apoptosis when they are damaged or no longer needed, ensuring proper tissue maintenance and homeostasis. Invasion and Metastasis: Cancer Cells: Cancer cells can invade surrounding tissues and spread to distant parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, a process known as metastasis. Normal Cells: Normal lung cells remain localized to their specific tissue and do not invade neighboring tissues or spread to other parts of the body. Angiogenesis: Cancer Cells: Cancer cells can stimulate the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) to supply the growing tumor with nutrients and oxygen. Normal Cells: Normal lung cells do not induce excessive angiogenesis unless needed for tissue repair or growth. Cell Shape and Organization: Cancer Cells: Cancer cells often have irregular shapes, sizes, and organization. They may form disorganized clusters within tumors. Normal Cells: Normal lung cells have a specific and organized structure, contributing to the proper functioning of lung tissue. Functionality: Cancer Cells: Cancer cells do not perform the specialized functions of normal lung cells. Instead, they divert resources toward rapid proliferation. Normal Cells: Normal lung cells carry out their specialized functions, such as gas exchange and mucus production, to maintain respiratory health. These differences collectively contribute to the aggressive and destructive behavior of cancer cells compared to normal cells in lung tissue. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for developing targeted therapies that selectively target cancer cells while preserving the health and function of normal cells.
How can normal cells become cancer cells?
They can be mutated through irradiation.
How is the behaviour of cancer cells different from that normal cells?
Normal cells divide in an orderly way to produce more cells only when the body needs them, whereas cancer cells continue to be created without control or order.
Do cancer cells have a long or short interphase?
In the cell cycle of cancer cells interphase is still the longest phase. However, interphase is shorter in cancer cells than in normal cells.
What is the element for cancer?
Your question makes no sense. Cancer is mutation of normal cells.
Does the cell cycle become uncontrolled in cancer?
Yes
In the respiratory system what cells keep normal cells from working properly?
cancer
