    TOP STORY

    ZMYND8 Is a Master Regulator of 27-Hydroxycholesterol that Promotes Tumorigenicity of Breast Cancer Stem Cells
    Using genetic mouse mammary tumor and human breast cancer models, researchers showed that the histone reader ZMYND8 was selectively expressed in breast CSCs (BCSCs) and promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition, BCSC maintenance and self-renewal, and oncogenic transformation through its epigenetic functions, leading to breast tumor initiation.

    β2-Microglobulin Maintains Glioblastoma Stem Cells and Induces M2-Like Polarization of Tumor-Associated Macrophages
    Investigators demonstrated that β2-microglobulin promoted maintenance of stem-like neoplastic populations and reprogramed the tumor immune microenvironment to an anti-inflammatory, tumor-promoting state.

    Stem Cells in the Tumor Immune Microenvironment – Part of the Cure or Part of the Disease? Ontogeny and Dichotomy of Stem and Immune Cells Has Led to Better Understanding
    Scientists review the most relevant interactions carried out between the stem cells, tumor cells and immune cells in a bottom-up incursion through the tumor microenvironment beginning from the perivascular niche and going through the tumoral parenchyma and the related stroma.
