    FBXW11 Contributes to Stem-Cell-Like Features and Liver Metastasis through Regulating HIC1-Mediated SIRT1 Transcription in Colorectal Cancer

    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.

    The Polarity Protein Par3 Coordinates Positively Self-Renewal and Negatively Invasiveness in Glioblastoma

    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.

    MYH9 Is Crucial for Stem Cell-Like Properties in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer by Activating mTOR Signaling

    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.
