Cancer Stem Cells Orchestrate Immune Evasion through Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Non-Canonical Signaling Pathways

[Cancer Cell] Using multiplexed single-cell proteomics to analyze 50 tumor microenvironment-associated proteins across treatment-naive triple-negative breast cancer specimens, we discovered that CSCs drive differentiation and expansion of regulatory T cells via extracellular vesicle-mediated paracrine signaling.

Leukemic Stem Cell Subtypes Determine Venetoclax Resistance and Therapeutic Vulnerabilities in AML

[Cell Stem Cell] Researchers revealed four distinct leukemic stem cell types with unique vulnerabilities and propose biomarker-guided treatment strategies that complement genetic profiling to overcome venetoclax resistance.

A Ketogenesis-Ferroptosis Axis Maintains Leukemic Stem Cell Survival and Leukemia Progression

[Cell Stem Cell] Scientists showed that leukemic stem cells in acute myeloid leukemia exhibit elevated ketogenesis, driven by fatty acid oxidation, to produce β-hydroxybutyrate.

MYOD1 Mutation Drives Cancer Stem Cell Pathways and Therapy-Resistance in Spindle Cell/Sclerosing Rhabdomyosarcoma

[Nature Communications] Investigators showed that recurrent L122R mutation in the DNA-binding site of the Myogenic Differentiation 1 (MYOD1) transcription factor increases cancer stem cell frequency in aggressive Spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma.

IQGAP3 Bridges Matrix Stiffness with Glioma Stem Cell Maintenance and Radioresistance by Stabilizing SOX2

[Nature Communications] Researchers found that increased matrix stiffness promotes radioresistance in glioblastoma and maintains tumor cell hierarchies.

The WYZ-1 Mouse Glioblastoma Stem Cell Model: A Novel Preclinical Tool for Tumor and Therapy Studies

[Cancer Letters] Scientists established a novel syngeneic glioblastoma stem cell line from PDGFB-driven RCAS/tv-a glioblastomas and subsequently generated a Pten-deficient derivative, WYZ-1.

Low Expression of ONECUT2 Governs the POU6F2-Beta-Catenin Axis to Modulate Cancer Stemness and Drives the CCL28-Dependent Pathway for Macrophage Polarization in Breast Cancer

[Cell Death & Disease] Investigators demonstrated that inhibition of ONECUT2, a core transcription factor, potently drives CSC characteristics and reprograms the TIME to favor macrophage polarization to the M2-type, a tumor-promoting state.

Thr3/Ser90 Phosphorylation-Stabilized S100A8 Regulates Cholesterol Metabolism in Glioblastoma Stem Cells

[Oncogene] Scientists demonstrated that S100A8 was highly expressed in glioblastoma (GBM) stem cells and closely associated with shorter overall survival in GBM patients.

The Metabolic Plasticity of Cancer Stem Cells: Bidirectional Crosstalk with Organ-Resident Cells

[Experimental & Molecular Medicine] Investigators discuss the emerging potential of targeting CSC-supportive metabolic niches through drug repurposing, highlighting context-aware metabolic interventions as a pragmatic strategy to overcome CSC-driven treatment resistance.

Targeting Colorectal Cancer Stem-Like Cells: Overcoming Therapeutic Resistance and Reprogramming the Immunosuppressive Niche

[Cancer Letters] The authors provide a comprehensive analysis of the evolving landscape of immunotherapies designed to target colorectal cancer stem-like cells.

Lyell Immunopharma Provides Update on Safety Profile of LYL273 in Relapsed or Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Cancer and Amends Phase I Trial to Phase I/II...

[Lyell Immunopharma, Inc.] Lyell Immunopharma, Inc. provided an update on the safety profile of LYL273 in its ongoing US Phase I clinical trial in patients with relapsed or refractory metastatic colorectal cancer, and announced the Phase I trial has been amended to enable seamless expansion into a potential pivotal single-arm Phase II trial pending regulatory alignment.

IQGAP3 Bridges Matrix Stiffness with Glioma Stem Cell Maintenance and Radioresistance by Stabilizing SOX2

[Nature Communications] Differential gene expression revealed that stiff matrices induce expression of IQ Motif Containing GTPase Activating Protein 3 (IQGAP3) through YAP1 and TEAD transcription factors in GBM stem cells.
