The much more rapid transformation and resultant aggressive, pluripotent phenotype seen in arsenite-transformed As-CSC cells compared with the transformed mature, parental cells (Achanzar et al. 2002) is consistent with this "permissive plasticity" concept of SCs in chemical carcinogenesis theory (Gisselsson 2007).
And, if it is, what answer will it offer to another of Einstein's questions: "Did God have any choice in the creation of the world?"
