|
|
| In glioblastoma CSCs, WDR5 inhibitors blocked WRAD complex assembly and reduced H3K4 trimethylation and expression of genes involved in CSC-relevant oncogenic pathways. [Genes & Development] |
|
|
|
| Investigators described a concise three-gene expression signature, leukemic stem cell-3, as an independent and robust prognostic factor for leukemia-free and overall survival in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. [British Journal Of Haematology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed that the acute myeloid leukemia-specific autocrine loop constituted of T cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM-3) and its ligand, galectin-9, drove the canonical Wnt pathway to stimulate self-renewal and propagation of leukemic stem cells. [Blood Advances] |
|
|
|
| Circulating tumor cells were analyzed in patients with metastatic prostate cancer during radiotherapy with CellSearch, multi-color flow cytometry, and imaging cytometry. [International Journal of Cancer] |
|
|
|
| The authors studied the effects of low-dose human phthalate exposure on breast CSCs to explore its underlying mechanism as they remain largely unexplored. [Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety] |
|
|
|
| Scientists established two radioresistant colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines, HCT116-R and RKO-R, using fractionated irradiation to explore the role of CSCs in regulating resistance to radiotherapy in CRC. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the potential mechanism for transient EBV/LMP1 exposure‑mediated persistent peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor‑γ coactivator‑1β (PGC1β) expression and subsequent tumorigenesis through modification of mitochondrial function. [Oncology Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators used genetic approaches to specifically label CSC-derived extracellular vesicles and to perform Sortase-mediated in vivo proximity labeling of CSC niche cells. [PLOS One] |
|
|
|
| Scientists revealed the contribution of SEC61 translocon subunit gamma (SEC61G) in promoting cisplatin-induced CSC properties of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells via promoting Ca2+-mediated autophagy. [Journal of Dental Sciences] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors focus on E3 ubiquitin ligases and their roles and mechanisms in regulating essential hallmarks of CSCs, such as self-renewal, invasion and metastasis, immune evasion, and more. [Cellular Oncology] |

|
|
| Former universities minister Michelle Donelan has been appointed head of the newly-created Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology in a mini-reshuffle. [Nature] |
