Stem Cell Theory of Cancer: Origin of Metastasis and Sub-Clonality

[Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology] Investigators discuss whether stem-ness enables metastasis or mutations drive metastasis. They ponder about low-grade versus high-grade tumors and about primary versus metastatic tumors.

The Dynamic Roles of the Bladder Tumor Microenvironment

[Nature Reviews Urology] New biological insights from these tumor microenvironments will enable rational design of strategies that co-target the tumor and stroma, which are expected to improve the outcomes of patients with advanced bladder cancer.

Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Require Proline Synthesis by PYCR1 for the Deposition of Pro-Tumorigenic Extracellular Matrix

[Nature Metabolism] Scientists found that proline, a highly abundant amino acid in collagen proteins, was newly synthesized from glutamine in cancer-associated fibroblasts to make tumor collagen in breast cancer xenografts.

Particle Hydrogels Decrease Cerebral Atrophy and Attenuate Astrocyte and Microglia/Macrophage Reactivity after Stroke

[Advanced Therapeutics] The authors showed that the direct injection of a hyaluronic acid-based microporous annealed particle hydrogel into the stroke core in mice reduces the percent of highly reactive astrocytes, increases the percent of alternatively activated microglia, decreases cerebral atrophy, and preserves NF200 axonal bundles.

Biofabrication Approaches and Regulatory Framework of Metastatic Tumor-on-a-Chip Models for Precision Oncology

[Medicinal Research Reviews] Investigators present the commonly used alternatives and latest advances in biofabrication of tumor-on-chips, which allow the generation of the most sophisticated and optimized models for recapitulating the tumor process.

Drug-Induced Epigenomic Plasticity Reprograms Circadian Rhythm Regulation to Drive Prostate Cancer towards Androgen-Independence

[Cancer Discovery] Scientists performed integrative multi-omics analyses on tissues isolated before and after three months of androgen receptor-targeting enzalutamide monotherapy from high-risk prostate cancer patients enrolled in a neoadjuvant clinical trial.

NOR-1 Overexpression Elevates Myoglobin Expression via PERM1 and Enhances Mitochondrial Function and Endurance in Skeletal Muscles of Aged Mice

[FASEB Journal] Transcriptomic profiling of the human response to exercise revealed that the nuclear receptor NR4A3 (NOR-1) was among the most responsive genes to acute exercise.

One-Step Laser-Assisted Electrohydrodynamic Printing of Microelectronic Scaffolds for Electrophysiological Monitoring of Aligned Cardiomyocytes

[ACS Nano ] A laser-assisted electrohydrodynamic printing strategy was proposed to directly fabricate a microfibrous architecture with built-in microelectronics for electrophysiological monitoring of aligned cardiomyocytes.

Sarcopenia and Skeletal Muscle Loss after CAR T-cell Therapy in Diffuse Large B cell Lymphoma

[Clinical Cancer Research] In 83 large B-cell lymphoma patients, the skeletal muscle index was measured from clinical images obtained at baseline and days 30 and 90 post-therapy.
