Stromal Notch Ligands Foster Lymphopenia-Driven Functional Plasticity and Homeostatic Proliferation of Naïve B Cells | In lymphopenic spleens, transferred B cells gradually lost their follicular phenotype and acquired characteristics of marginal zone B cells, as judged by cell surface phenotype, expression of integrins and chemokine receptors, and positioning close to the marginal sinus.

Locally Secreted BiTEs Complement CAR T Cells by Enhancing Killing of Antigen Heterogeneous Solid Tumors | Scientists detected the expression of tumor-associated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), EGFR variant III, and interleukin-13 receptor alpha 2 on glioma tissues and CSCs. [Molecular Therapy] |

|
LGR4 Cooperates with PrPc to Endow the Stemness of Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells Contributing to Tumorigenesis and Liver Metastasis | Researchers reported that a leucine-rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 4 (LGR4) cooperated with CD44 and PrPc; the latter contributed significantly to metastatic capacity and defined the stemness characteristics of colorectal CSCs. [Cancer Letters] |

|
Rationally Screened and Designed ABCG2-Binding Aptamers for Targeting Cancer Stem Cells and Reversing Multidrug Resistance | ATP-binding cassette, subfamily G, isoform 2 protein (ABCG2) glycosylated extracellular region-binding aptamers were efficiently screened by a cladded molecularly imprinted polymer-based in vitro screening method and further rationally engineered into cyclic bivalent aptamers. [Analytical Chemistry] |

PLGA-Nano-Encapsulated Disulfiram Inhibits Hypoxia-Induced NFκB, Cancer Stem Cells and Targets Glioblastoma in Vitro and in Vivo | The in vitro anti-glioblastoma (GBM) stem cell activity of disulfiram (DS) and in vivo anti-GBM efficacy of poly lactic-co-glycolic acid nanoparticle-encapsulated DS were examined. [Molecular Cancer Therapeutics] |
|
|
|
TFEB and TFE3 Depletion Increases Cancer Stem Cell Characteristics and EMT in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer | Scientists showed that knockout of TFEB and combined knockout of TFEB and TFE3 resulted in an increase in stem cell character and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, which could correlate to increased tumor metastasis and poorer prognosis. [FASEB Journal] |

|
|
Optimization of Production and Characterization of a Recombinant Soluble Human Cripto-1 Protein Inhibiting Self-Renewal of Cancer Stem Cells | The authors optimized the protocol for a T7 expression system, purification from inclusion bodies under denatured conditions refolding of a His-tagged Cripto-1 protein. [Journal of Cellular Biochemistry] |

|
|
Cytotoxic Effect of Disulfiram/Copper on Human Cervical Cancer Cell Lines and LGR5-Positive Cancer Stem-Like Cells | Scientists reported that high aldehyde dehydrogenase activity represented a functional marker for cervical CSCs. [BMC Cancer] |
|
|
|
ISG15 Enhances Glioma Cell Stemness by Promoting Oct4 Protein Stability | Loss of functional experiments indicated that ISG15 positively regulated glioma cell stemness, as evident by the increase of sphere formation ability, ALDH activity, stemness marker expression, and tumor-initiating ability. [Environmental Toxicology] |
|

|
ARL2 Is Required for Homologous Recombination Repair and Colon Cancer Stem Cell Survival | ARL2 expression was positively associated with the expression of all six RAD51 family genes, which were essential for homologous recombination repair. [Febs Open Bio] |

|
|
|
Lung Cancer Stem Cells and Their Clinical Implications | Mouse models of lung cancer have shown that lung CSCs reside in niches that are essential for the maintenance of stemness, plasticity, enable antitumor immune evasion, and provide metastatic potential. [Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine] |
|
|
|
The Role of Cancer Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes in Cancer Progression | Studies have shown that CSC-derived exosomes carry a variety of gene mutations and specific epigenetic modifications indicative of unique cell phenotypes and metabolic pathways, enabling exchange of information in the tumor microenvironment to promote tumor invasion and metastasis.
