    Rapid and Highly Sensitive Approach for Multiplexed Somatic Fusion Detection

    Researchers identified fusions from as little as two unstained slides of FFPE tumor biopsy tissue, from circulating tumor cells collected from tumor-bearing mice, and from liquid biopsy samples from patients with known fusion-positive cancers.

    BCL6 and the Notch Pathway: A Signaling Axis Leading to a Novel Druggable Biotarget in Triple Negative Breast Cancer

    Scientists investigated signaling cascades of B cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) in the CSC compartment of triple negative breast cancers, and the mechanisms that govern its activity, mainly through Notch signaling.

    Abstract

    Disclosing the Antitumor Potential of the Marine Bromoditerpene Sphaerococcenol A on Distinct Cancer Cellular Models

    Sphaerococcenol A capacity to impact colorectal-CSCs tumorspheres was evaluated by determining tumorspheres viability, number, and area, as well as the proteasome inhibitory activity.

    MRI Assessment of Glutamine Uptake Correlates with the Distribution of Glutamine Transporters and Cancer Stem Cell Markers

    Using MRI, scientists determined the correlation between glutamine uptake and the distribution of glutamine transporters, namely ASCT2 and SLC38A2, glutaminase, and CSC markers, such as CD44 and CD166, in a mouse xenograft model of HT29 human colorectal cancer cells.
