| The authors presented exploratory analyses on the use of ctDNA testing as an additional method to identify castration-resistant prostate cancer patients with homologous recombination repair gene alterations who may be eligible for olaparib treatment. [Clinical Cancer Research] |

|
| Researchers evaluated the performance of unsupervised clustering for the post-induction assessment of bulk and leukemic stem cells measurable residual disease in 155 acute myeloid leukemia patients who received intensive conventional chemotherapy treatment. [Clinical Cancer Research] |

|
| Using a spontaneous model of mammary carcinoma, investigators identified bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stem cells as the first sensors of distal cancer cells and key mediators of BM reprogramming. [Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Scientists demonstrated that Plasmacytoma Variant Translocation-1 (PVT-1) was critical for osteosarcoma tumor-initiation potential, further elucidating the role of PVT-1 in the enhancement of cancer stem-like behaviors. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that glioma stem cells (GSCs) lacking epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) amplification were exquisitely sensitive to de novo pyrimidine synthesis perturbations, while GSCs that amplify EGFR were utterly resistant. [Oncogene] |

|
|
| While HoxA9 alone immortalizes cells, cooperation with Meis1 is necessary to induce a full leukemic phenotype. Here, scientists applied degron techniques to elucidate the leukemogenic contribution of Meis1. [Haematologica] |
|
|
|
| Researchers identified miR-637 as a Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein and SCAR Homolog (WASH)-targeting miRNA. miR-637 mimic strongly attenuated the downstream IL-8 production and tumor sphere formation in esophageal cancer cells, whereas miR-637 inhibitor displayed an opposite effect.

|
|
| The authors identified melanoma cell lines lacking Sox10 expression which retained their in vivo growth capabilities. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Investigators performed single-nucleus transcriptomics of mutant and wild-type glioma samples sorted for Sox2 stem cell marker. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists review recent research findings that provide a mechanistic link between the commonly deregulated transcription factors and stemness in cancer. [Seminars in Cancer Biology] |
