    Abstract

    Generating Human Prostate Cancer Organoids from Leukapheresis Enriched Circulating Tumor Cells

    Researchers used diagnostic leukapheresis to enrich circulating tumor cells from patients with metastatic prostate cancer and explored whether organoids provide a platform for ex vivo treatment modeling.

    ALG3 Contributes to Stemness and Radioresistance through Regulating Glycosylation of TGF-β Receptor II in Breast Cancer

    The authors screened all ten asparagine-linked glycosylation (ALG) members in breast cancer patients’ samples by RT-PCR. Cancer stem-like traits were assessed by RT-PCR, Western blot, and flow cytometry.

    A Novel Lnc408 Maintains Breast Cancer Stem Cell Stemness by Recruiting SP3 to Suppress CBY1 Transcription and Increasing Nuclear β-Catenin Levels

    Scientists identified a novel lncRNA 408 (lnc408) in epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related breast CSCs (BCSCs). The lnc408 was highly expressed in BCSCs in vitro and in vivo.

    Detection of Metabolic Change in Glioblastoma Cells after Radiotherapy Using Hyperpolarized 13C-MRI

    Dynamic nuclear polarization‐magnetic resonance imaging chemical shift imaging with hyperpolarized [1‐13C] pyruvate was conducted to evaluate the metabolic change in glycolytic profiles after radiation of two glioma stem‐like cell‐derived gliomas and an adherent human glioblastoma cell line in an orthotopic xenograft mouse model.

    Leukemia: A Model Metastatic Disease

    Scientists discuss the key molecular processes that facilitate metastasis in a variety of leukemic subtypes, the clinical significance of leukemic invasion into specific tissues, and the current pipeline of treatments targeting leukemia metastasis.
    [Nature Reviews Cancer]

    Abstract

    Drug Resistance in Metastatic Breast Cancer: Tumor Targeted Nanomedicine to the Rescue

    The authors discuss various nanomedicines designed to selectively target breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer, and breast CSCs.
