| Researchers established two highly penetrant human neural stem cell-derived malignant glioma models, which resembled the histopathology and transcriptional heterogeneity of human glioblastoma. [Cell Research] |

|
| Investigators identified the histone methyltransferase Mll1 as a regulator of Wnt-driven intestinal cancer. Mll1 is highly expressed in Lgr5+ stem cells and human colon carcinomas with increased nuclear β-catenin. [Nature Communications] |

|
| The knockout of Usp47 significantly inhibited BCR-ABL and BCR-ABLT315I-induced CML in mice with the reduction of Lin−Sca1+c-Kit+ chronic myelogenous leukemia stem/progenitor cells. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Using in utero electroporation and CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering to generate a native, immunocompetent mouse model of glioma, the authors characterized vascular-tumor dynamics in three dimensions during tumor progression. [Neuro-Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers report that Piwi-like family members were overexpressed in glioblastoma, with Piwil1 most frequently overexpressed. Piwil1 was enriched in glioma stem-like cells to maintain self-renewal. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists analyzed ~200,000 single-cell transcriptomes of bone marrow mononuclear cells and its subsets from 23 clinical samples. They constructed a comprehensive cell atlas as hematopoietic reference. [Cell Discovery] |
|
|
|
| To identify key drivers of metastasis, scientists studied human CCH-osteocarcinoma (OS)-D OS cells within a previously described rat acellular lung model that preserved the native lung architecture, extracellular matrix, and capillary network. [Cancer Gene Therapy] |
|
|
|
| While PanIN cells expressed oncogenic KRas and have increased activity of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), the authors demonstrated that in doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1+) PanIN cells EGFR signaling was not propagated to the nucleus. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that BTF3 expression is related with stem-like properties in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. BTF3 modulated stemness, migration and proliferation of TNBC in vitro. [Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications] |

|
|
|
| IL-8 has been reported to favor cancer progression and metastases via different mechanisms, including pro-angiogenesis and maintenance of cancer stem cells, but its ability to attract and functionally modulate neutrophils and macrophages arguably may be the most important factors. [Clinical Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Scientists review the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the symbiotic interactions between cancer stem cells and immune cells and how such heterotypic signaling maintains a tumor-promoting ecosystem and informs therapeutic strategies intercepting this co-dependency. [Cell Reports] |

| The Global Coalition for Adaptive Research (GCAR) in collaboration with Kazia and Kintara, announced the activation of Kazia’s paxalisib and Kintara’s VAL-083 in Glioblastoma (GBM) Adaptive Global Innovative Learning Environment (AGILE). [Global Coalition for Adaptive Research] |
