| Researchers identified fusions from as little as two unstained slides of FFPE tumor biopsy tissue, from circulating tumor cells collected from tumor-bearing mice, and from liquid biopsy samples from patients with known fusion-positive cancers. [Modern Pathology] |

|
| Scientists investigated signaling cascades of B cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) in the CSC compartment of triple negative breast cancers, and the mechanisms that govern its activity, mainly through Notch signaling. [Cellular Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Sphaerococcenol A capacity to impact colorectal-CSCs tumorspheres was evaluated by determining tumorspheres viability, number, and area, as well as the proteasome inhibitory activity. [Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy] |
|
|
|
| Enrichment of cancer stem cells was observed in neurospheres by FACS using CD133 antibody and RT-PCR. [Frontiers in Pharmacology] |
|
|
|
| Using MRI, scientists determined the correlation between glutamine uptake and the distribution of glutamine transporters, namely ASCT2 and SLC38A2, glutaminase, and CSC markers, such as CD44 and CD166, in a mouse xenograft model of HT29 human colorectal cancer cells. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that miR-145-5p, a recently discovered miRNA, was expressed at low levels in primary glioma stem cells. [Journal of Cancer] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the effects of miR-222-3p on the formation of medulloblastoma stem-like cells via the Notch2/c-myc pathway. [Immunopharmacology and Immunotoxicology] |
|
|
|
| Significant genes associated hepatocellular carcinoma stemness features were screened through weighted gene co-expression network analysis and were functionally annotated using enrichment analysis. [Critical Reviews in Eukaryotic Gene Expression] |
|
|
|
| Investigators constructed and characterized human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) lipid magnetic ball for separating circulating tumor cells in patients with gastric carcinoma. [Molecular Medicine Reports] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss in detail the divergence of early metastases as circulating tumor cells and the involvement of miRNAs as detectable blood-based diagnostic biomarkers that warrant a timely screening of cancer. [Molecular Cancer] |
|
|
|
| The authors summarize the recent advances in cancer pathological roles and mechanisms of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in regulating mRNA stability and translation with an emphasis on the emerging category of RNA modification-associated RBPs. [Seminars in Cancer Biology] |

|
| The FDA approved axicabtagene ciloleucel for adult patients with large B-cell lymphoma that is refractory to first-line chemoimmunotherapy or relapses within 12 months of first-line chemoimmunotherapy. [US FDA] |

|
|
| Two researchers at the University of Toronto and its hospital partners – one a stem cell biologist, the other a global health researcher – have been honoured with 2022 Canada Gairdner Awards, the country’s most prestigious awards for medical and health science. [University of Toronto] |
