    Glucose Deprivation Induced Aberrant FUT1-Mediated Fucosylation Drives Cancer Stemness in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
    Scientists report a regulatory mechanism involving fucosylation by which glucose restriction promoted cancer stemness to drive drug resistance and tumor recurrence.
    [Journal of Clinical Investigation]

    The SRSF1/circATP5B/miR-185-5p/HOXB5 Feedback Loop Regulates the Proliferation of Glioma Stem Cells via the IL6-Mediated JAK2/STAT3 Signaling Pathway
    Patient-derived glioma stem cells (GSCs) were established, and MTS, EDU, neurosphere formation, and limiting dilution assays were used to detect the proliferation of GSCs.

    BMP9-ID1 Signaling Promotes EpCAM-Positive Cancer Stem Cell Properties in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
    Scientists aimed to elucidate the role of bone morphologic protein 9 (BMP9) signaling in hepatocellular carcinoma-cancer stem cells (HCC‐CSC) properties and to assess the therapeutic effect of BMP receptor inhibitors in HCC.
    [Molecular Oncology]
    Abstract

    A Cyclometalated IrIII Complex Conjugated to a Coumarin Derivative Is a Potent Photodynamic Agent against Prostate Differentiated and Tumorigenic Cancer Stem Cells
    The authors showed, using DU145 tumor cells, taken as the model of hormone‐refractory and aggressive prostate cancer cells resistant to conventional antineoplastic drugs, that the photoactivated 3 very efficiently eliminated both prostate bulk, differentiated and prostate, hardly treatable cancer stem cells simultaneously and with a similar efficiency.
    [Chemistry-A European Journal]
    Abstract

    Elevated Asparagine Biosynthesis Drives Brain Tumor Stem Cell Metabolic Plasticity and Resistance to Oxidative Stress
    Researchers showed significant metabolic alterations occur in gliomas when perturbing the expression of asparagine synthetase, which is not merely restricted to amino acid homeostasis.
    [Molecular Cancer Research]
    Abstract

    CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Knockout of PIM3 Suppresses Tumorigenesis and Cancer Cell Stemness in Human Hepatoblastoma Cells
    Scientists use dCRISPR/Cas9 gene editing with dual gRNAs to introduce large inactivating deletions in the PIM3 gene and achieve stable PIM3 knockout in the human hepatoblastoma cell line, HuH6.
    [Cancer Gene Therapy]
    Abstract

    Humanized Anti-DEspR IgG4S228P Antibody Increases Overall Survival in a Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cell-Xenograft Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Ratnu/Nu Model
    Investigators used heterogeneous pools of cancer stem cells (CSCs) selected for anoikis resistance from reprogrammed Panc1 and MiaPaCa2 tumor cells (TCs), and adherent TCs reprogrammed from CSCs

    Novel Role of LINC01013/miR-6795-5p/FMNL3 Axis in the Regulation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Stem Cell Features
    Hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and normal controls were collected, and the expression pattern of LINC01013 and miR-6795-5p was identified by quick real-time polymerase chain reaction.

    Cancer Stem Cell-Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Overcoming Trastuzumab Resistance in HER2‐Positive Breast Cancer
    The authors discuss the role of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition of breast CSCs (BCSCs) in the setting of trastuzumab resistance and approaches of reducing or eradicating BCSCs in HER2‐positive breast cancer.
