Many tumors are sustained by microenvironments, or niches, that support and protect malignant cells, thus conferring a competitive advantage against both healthy cells and therapeutic interventions (for a brief review, see Yao and Link (Stem Cells 35: 3–8, 2017)). The global industry engaged in the commercial promotion of unproven and scientifically implausible cell-based “regenerative” therapies has developed a number of self-protective strategies that support its survival and growth in ways that are broadly analogous to the functions of the malignant niche.

恶性生态位：有毒干细胞营销的安全空间

许多肿瘤由支持和保护恶性细胞的微环境或生态位所维持，因此赋予了对抗健康细胞和治疗干预的竞争​​优势（简要回顾，请参见Yao和Link（干细胞，35：3-8，2017年） ）。从事未经证实且科学上难以置信的基于细胞的“再生”疗法的商业推广的全球行业，已经开发出多种自我保护策略，以与恶性小生境的功能大致相似的方式支持其生存和生长。
