    TOP STORY

    Fusobacterium nucleatum Promotes Colorectal Cancer Cell to Acquire Stem Cell-Like Features by Manipulating Lipid Droplet-Mediated Numb Degradation
    The authors showed that Fusobacterium nucleatum promoted colorectal cancer stem-like cells (CCSCs) self-renewal, and non-CCSCs to acquire CCSC features by manipulating cellular lipid accumulation.

    ADAR1-Mediated RNA Editing Links Ganglioside Catabolism to Glioblastoma Stem Cell Maintenance
    Scientists interrogated the role of adenosine-to-Inosine RNA editing mediated by adenosine deaminase acting on RNA1 (ADAR1) in glioblastoma stem cells and found that both ADAR1 and global RNA editomes were elevated in glioblastoma stem cell compared to normal neural stem cells.

    Abstract

    IFIT2-Depleted Metastatic Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cells Induce Muscle Atrophy and Cancer Cachexia in Mice
    Genetically engineered and xenograft tumor models were used to explore the effect of interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeat 2 (IFIT2) -depleted metastatic oral squamous cell carcinoma on cancer cachexia.

    Abstract

    A Novel CD34-Specific T Cell Engager Efficiently Depletes Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Leukemic Stem Cells In Vitro and In Vivo
    Researchers designed a CD34/CD3 bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) and characterized its anti-leukemia potential in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo.
