|
| Ellagic acid inhibited stemness maintenance by suppressing the hedgehog pathway, while Cu2+ further decreased stemness features of tumor cells by disrupting mitochondrial metabolism, effectively enhancing doxorubicin-mediated chemotherapy. [Small] |
|
|
|
| Scientists developed a stem cell factor SOX9-based reporter for isolating CSCs in primary tumors and metastases of spontaneous mammary tumor models. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that increased RAB27B in leukemia stem cells prevented their senescence and maintained their stemness in vitro and in vivo. [Leukemia] |
|
|
|
| Scientists explored novel miRNA–mRNA regulatory mechanisms that contribute to osimertinib resistance in lung cancer. They found that miR-204 expression in osimertinib-resistant lung cancer cells was markedly reduced compared to that in osimertinib-sensitive parental cells. [Molecular Therapy – Nucleic Acids] |
|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that the expression of sine oculis homeobox homolog 1 (SIX1) varied among different subtypes of breast cancer and that it upregulated breast cancer grading and lymph node metastasis. [Journal of Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Loss- and gain-of-function experiments were utilized to assess the biological effects of METTL3 and SOCS3 on the proliferation and stemness phenotypes in vitro and in vivo. [Cancer Gene Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Scientists examined how elevated extracellular periostin, as they found was present in recurrent ovarian cancer (OC), impacted OC cell functions and phenotypes, including stemness. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers determined the phenotypic and therapeutic relevance of tumor microenvironment in neurofibroma type I (NF1) patients. Tumor stem cells from NF1 were isolated and cultured using fluorescence-activated cell sorting and colony formation experiments. [Translational Oncology] |
|

|
|
| The authors highlight the factors within the CSC niche that have important roles in regulating CSC properties, including the extracellular matrix, stromal cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts, mesenchymal stem cells, and physiological changes. [Cancer Cell International] |

|
| AbbVie announced that the company will pay $10 billion to the biotech firm Immunogen for the acquirement of an approved treatment for ovarian cancer and buying into a burgeoning area of oncology. [STAT] |
