| Investigators identified circulating tumor cell biomarkers and effective combinations of tumor-initiating stem-like cell-specific, repurposed FDA-approved drugs. [Advanced Science] |

|
|
| Researchers reported that terminally exhausted (TTEX) cells actively participated in tumor progression by modulating CSCs. TTEX cells strongly correlated with elevated CSC frequency in poorly immune-infiltrated advanced human breast and ovarian carcinomas. [Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Monodisperse hollow-structured MnO2 was successively modified with hyaluronic acid to enhance targeting CSCs with high CD44 expression levels. [ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported a novel derivative of lonidamine, namely HYL001, which selectively and potently inhibited CSCs by targeting mitochondria. [Pharmacological Research] |
|
|
|
| Scientists presented DNA aptamers capable of specific binding to glial tumor cells in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo for visualization diagnostics of central nervous system tumors. [Molecular Therapy – Nucleic Acids] |
|
|
|
| Harmine was identified as a hit compound based on phenotypic screening of a 2D assay and patient-derived organoid model that was established from a patient with multiple drug resistance and breast metastases. [Cancer Letters] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the molecular and funcitonal makeup of ovarian CSCs (OCSCs) in clinically relevant model systems, and revealed that Matrix Gla Protein was markedly enriched in OCSCs. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated the effects of histone methyltransferases 2, EHMT2 or G9a, on immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and whether this effect was related to changes on cell stemness. [CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics] |
|
|
|
|
The in vitro and in vivo study demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein-8-like-2 (TIPE2) sensitized breast cancer cells to paclitaxel by suppressing drug-induced autophagy and CSC properties. [Human Cell] |
| | |
|
|
| The authors summarize the biological hallmarks and markers of CSCs, and the nanotechnology-based therapies to eradicate them. [Daru-Journal Of Pharmaceutical Sciences] |
|
|
|
|
| The FDA outlined plans to move away from single-arm studies and instead favor randomized controlled trials that can potentially serve as the basis for both accelerated and full approval. [Fierce Biotech] |
