    Exosomal S100A4 Derived from Highly Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells Promotes Metastasis by Activating STAT3

    Scientists found that exosomal S100 calcium-binding protein A4 (S100A4) could induce the expression of osteopontin, along with other tumor metastasis/stemness-related genes.

    Abstract

    GABRP Sustains the Stemness of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells through EGFR Signaling

    The authors found that the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor π subunit (GABRP), as a membrane protein enriched in triple-negative breast cancer stem cells, interacted with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and significantly sustained its expression, resulting in stemness maintenance and chemotherapy resistance.
