|
| Investigators observed that polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) were remarkably enriched in the tumor microenvironment of CCL20-overexpressing cancer cell orthotopic allograft tumors. [Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] |

|
| Researchers identified a mitochondria-encoded circular RNA termed mcPGK1, mitochondrial circRNA for translocating phosphoglycerate kinase 1, which was highly expressed in liver tumor-initiating cells. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Investigators introduced a nanomaterial-based approach to photothermally induce the differentiation of CSCs, termed “photothermal differentiation”, leading to the attenuation of cancer cell stemness, chemoresistance, and metastasis. [Nano Letters] |
|
|
|
| Scientists designed a hyaluronic acid-coated siProminin2-loaded FeOOH nano-drug to accelerate ferroptosis of breast CSCs by simultaneously increasing iron ion content, inhibiting iron efflux, and scavenging glutathione. [Acta Biomaterialia] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported that Plexin B3 (PLXNB3) expression was increased in response to hypoxia and that PLXNB3 was a direct target gene of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 in human breast cancer cells. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors pinpointed OPA1high with mitochondrial fusion as a metabolic feature of human lung CSCs, licensing their stem-like properties. [JCI Insight] |
|
|
|
| The up-regulation of FBXL8 promoted the proliferation, invasion, and migration of colorectal cancer tumor cells and maintained the stem-cell characteristics of colorectal tumor cells. [Clinical and Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| In order to target stem cells in ovarian cancer, scientists used the sortase reaction to site-specifically conjugate the potent cytotoxin monomethyl auristatin E and their co-receptors ZNRF3 and RNF43 via a protease-cleavable linker. [Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics] |
|
|
|
| Investigators evaluated the effect of the tetrose saccharide, erythrose, a neuroleukin inhibitor of invasiveness and drug sensitization in glioblastoma stem cells. [Medical Oncology] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors review up-to-date knowledge of the relationship between m6A modulation and drug resistance and discuss the regulation of m6A modulation in epithelial-mesenchymal transition and CSCs. [Heliyon] |

|
| Tachyon Therapeutics, Inc. announced that the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) has awarded the company a $7.1 million grant to support a Phase I clinical study of TACH101 in patients with advanced solid tumors. [Tachyon Therapeutics, Inc.] |
