[Cell Death & Disease] Scientists demonstrated that cAMP triggered neuronal differentiation and compromised the self-renewal capacity in glioma stem cells.
[Oncogenesis] Researchers found that GSK3β was noted as a substrate for ZDHHC4-mediated palmitoylation at the Cys14 residue, which enhanced glioblastoma temozolomide resistance and glioblastoma stem cell self-renewal.
[Disease Models & Mechanisms] The multiple-microtissue transcriptome analysis revealed three cancer cell-type clusters in the primary tumor and axillary lymph node metastasis, two of which were CSC-like clusters.
[Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology] A novel recombinant protein fibronectin-collagen peptide was designed to modulate the function of extracellular matrix expressed by Picha. pastoris strain X33.
[Nature] The authors established that the presence of diverse priming events in the normal mouse intestinal epithelium can change the transformation and clonal-selection landscape, permitting the fixation of strong driver mutations in Apc and Ctnnb1 that are otherwise lost due to negative selection.
[Nature Aging] By analyzing DNA methylation and gene expression data from healthy and cancerous human colon samples, investigators identified an aging and colon cancer-associated DNA methylation drift.
