Asymmetric Cell Division of ALDH1-Positive Cancer Stem Cells Generates Glycolytic Metabolically Diverse Cell Populations
Researchers revealed that PKCλ-dependent asymmetric division of ALDH1-positive CSCs led to an uneven distribution of glycolytic capacity, which was crucial for understanding metabolic heterogeneity...
NCAPH Promotes Glucose Metabolism Reprogramming and Cell Stemness in Ovarian Cancer Cells through the MEK/ERK/PD-L1 Pathway
Researchers observed that non-structural maintenance of chromosomes condensin I complex subunit H (NCAPH) expression was upregulated in ovarian cancer cells. Silencing NCAPH led to...
Cancer Stem Cells-Derived Exosomal TSPAN8 Enhances Non-Stem Cancer Cells Stemness and Promotes Malignant Progression in PDAC
[Oncogene] Investigators employed single-cell RNA sequencing and exosomal profiling, identifying TSPAN8-enriched exosomes secreted by CSC, which were associated with poor survival rates in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients.
CD44: A Key Regulator of Iron Metabolism, Redox Balance, and Therapeutic Resistance in Cancer Stem Cells
[Stem Cells] The authors highlight the multifaceted roles of CD44 in CSC biology, focusing on its contribution to ferroptosis resistance, iron metabolism, and redox regulation.
Risk of Recurrence and Cancer Stem Cell Marker CD133 Expression Vary in Males Versus Females with Papillary Thyroid Cancer
[Annals of Surgical Oncology] Scientists defined the association between CD133 expression in papillary thyroid cancer and recurrence-free survival
Modulating Cancer Stem Cell Characteristics in CD133+ Melanoma Cells through Hif1α, KLF4, and SHH Silencing
[ACS Omega] Scientists examined how silencing three key genes─Hif1α, KLF4, and SHH─affects CSC characteristics.
Angiogenesis Causes and Vasculogenic Mimicry Formation in the Context of Cancer Stem Cells
[Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta-Reviews On Cancer] The authors summarize the role of vascular niche formed by angiogenesis in CSC self-renewal and stemness maintenance, and the function of CSCs in endothelial progenitor cell differentiation and pro-angiogenic factor upregulation.
Novocure’s Optune Lua® Receives CE Mark Approval for the Treatment of Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
[Novocure] Novocure announced that Optune Lua® has received a Conformité Européenne (CE) Mark for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer concurrently with immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel who have progressed on or after a platinum-based regimen.
Suppression of Cancer Stem-Like Cell Radioresistance by Inhibiting AMPK Signaling
[Journal of Radiation Research] Researchers investigated the potential efficacy of the pan-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase inhibitor dorsomorphin in preventing CSC radioresistance.
Qingre Huayu Jianpi Decoction Suppresses Colorectal Tumorigenesis by Inhibiting Cancer Stem Cells and Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts
[Journal of Ethnopharmacology] Scientists evaluated the preventive and therapeutic effects of Qingre Huayu Jianpi decoction on colon cancer, particularly focusing on its impact on colon CSC proliferation and cancer-associated fibroblast activation.
Novel Strategy to Target Glioblastoma-Initiating Cells Using a Braintropic Adeno-Associated Virus Carrying a miR-Dependent Genome-Editing System
[British Journal of Cancer] Investigators developed a novel method that specifically eradicates glioblastoma-initiating cells with reducing side effects.
