    Cancer Stem Cell DNA Enabled Real-Time Genotyping with Self-Functionalized Quantum Superstructures — Overcoming the Barriers of Noninvasive cfDNA Cancer Diagnostics

    Cancer stem cell-circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) was used to overcome the biological complexities like the inability for molecular analysis of ctDNA and dependence on ctDNA concentration rather than the molecular profile.

    Abstract

    Combating Cancer Stem-Like Cell-Derived Resistance to Anticancer Protein by Liposome-Mediated Acclimatization Strategy

    The authors reported a liposome-mediated acclimatization strategy to overcome the CSC-emanated tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligandresistance.

    Abstract

    Activation of the Notch1-C-Myc-VCAM1 Signaling Axis Initiates Liver Progenitor Cell-Driven Hepatocarcinogenesis and Pulmonary Metastasis

    Investigators discovered that the Notch1-c-myc-VCAM1 signaling axis initiated liver progenitor cell-driven hepatocarcinogenesis and metastasis, providing a preclinical model for hepatocellular carcinoma studies.
    [Oncogene]

    Abstract

    Regulation of Cancer Stem Cell Activity by Thyroid Hormone Receptor β

    Scientists showed that thyroid hormone receptor β (TRβ) was a newly identified transcription regulator that acted to suppress CSC activity and that TRβ could be considered as a molecular target for therapeutic intervention of anaplastic thyroid cancer cells.
