| Silencing of SOX9 decreased cell proliferation, induced G1/S arrest and increased apoptosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cells, both in vitro and in vivo. [Blood] |

|
| The authors interrogated gene expression profiles from glioblastoma stem cells, differentiated glioblastoma cells, and neural stem cells, revealing EYA2 as preferentially expressed by GSCs. [Journal of Experimental Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Based on an integrative analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas database, investigators identified long non-coding RNA-RNA Component of Mitochondrial RNA Processing Endoribonuclease (RMRP) as one of the most highly upregulated lncRNAs that awas associated with poor survival in non-small cell lung cancer. [Cell Death & Differentiation] |

|
|
| To identify genetic vulnerabilities of colon cancer, scientists performed targeted CRISPR dropout screens comprising 657 Drugbank targets and 317 epigenetic regulators on two patient-derived colon CSCs-enriched spheroids. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| Investigators examined the impact of patient age, sex, stage, and tumor type on circulating-free DNA yield, circulating-tumor DNA fraction, and estimated ctDNA quantity from a large cohort of clinical liquid biopsy samples. [Clinical Chemistry] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the mechanical phenotype of the human colon adenocarcinoma cell, HT29, which is known to be a heterogeneous cell line with both multipotency and self-renewal abilities. [Analytical Chemistry] |
|
|
|
| The authors explored the role of F-box and WD repeat domain containing 11 (FBXW11) in the development and metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC). FBXW11 was overexpressed in colorectal tumor tissues and its overexpression was associated with a poor prognosis of CRC patients. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Scientists studied the role of the Par3 protein (encoded by PARD3) in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). GBM patient transcriptomic data and patient-derived culture analysis indicated diverse levels of expression of PARD3 across and independent from subtypes. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that the stemness characteristics of lung cancer cells were significantly enhanced by the overexpression of non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9), and the knockout of MYH9 had the opposite effects. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss the roles of circadian rhythms in cancer pathogenesis, highlighting the recent advances in chronotherapeutic approaches for improved cancer treatment. [Experimental & Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors discuss CSC molecular regulation, signaling pathways, methods for the study of the topic, as well as molecules and drugs capacity of inhibiting the interplay of hypoxia-CSC. [Molecular Biology Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators review recent evidence supporting roles for Delta-like homologue 1 (DLK1) in the maintenance of aggressive stem cell characteristics of tumor cells, specifically focusing on central nervous system tumors, neuroblastoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

|
| Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. announced entry into a collaboration with the Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, and Oncode Institute, Utrecht to identify the most promising drugs to be combined with LB-100, and potentially LB-100 analogues, to be used to treat a range of cancers. [Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc.] |

|
| Precirix NV announced that it has dosed the first patients in its Phase I/II clinical study of CAM-H2 for the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic cancer. The trial will evaluate CAM-H2 in HER2-positive metastatic breast and gastric/gastro-esophageal cancer patients. [Precirix NV] |
