|
| A nephrogenic progenitor cell with CSC characteristics driving Wilms tumor using spatial transcriptomics, bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing, and complementary in vitro and transplantation experiments were identified and characterized. [Advanced Science] |

|
|
| Exosomes in bile and sera from cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer, and common bile duct stone were identified and quantified by TEM, NTA, and nanoFCM. [Hepatology] |
|
|
|
| To better understand the mechanisms involved in tumor microenvironment-mediated generation and support of urothelial bladder cancer CSCs, researchers focused on the role of cancer-associated fibroblasts in this study. [Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Scientists established a bio-bank of human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) organoid models, covering a representative range of PDAC tumor subtypes. [Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that patient-derived triple-negative breast CSCs were efficiently recognized and killed by ex vivo expanded γδ T-cells from healthy donors. Orthotopically xenografted BCSCs, however, were refractory to γδ T-cell immunotherapy. [Cancer Immunology Research] |
|
|
|
| Spheroid cells from endometrial cancer cell lines, Ishikawa and HEC1A, exhibited increased colony forming, subsphere forming, chemo-drug resistance, migration, invasion ability, and tumorigenicity, verifying their cancer stem-like cell properties. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Using drug reposition, researchers investigated a therapeutic drug for glioma-initiating cells. Drug screening was undertaken to select candidate agents that inhibit proliferation of two different glioma-initiating cells lines. [Cancer Science] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported a liposome loaded with low toxicity and high effectiveness of miriplatin, lipo-miriplatin with high miriplatin loading, and robust stability, exhibiting a superior inhibitory effect on CSCs and non-CSCs. [Biochemical Pharmacology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists found that lncRNA-AC026356.1 was upregulated in stem spheres and chemo-resistant lung cancer cells. Fish assay also showed that AC026356.1 was predominantly located in the cytoplasm of lung cancer cells and did not have protein-coding potential. [Aging] |
|
|
|
| Investigators inspected the functions of inorganic pyrophosphatase 1 (PPA1) in colorectal cancer (CRC). The abundance of PPA1 in CRC tissues was analyzed by utilizing publicly available data from the The Cancer Genome Atlas and Human Protein Atlas project. [Cellular Signalling] |
|
|
|
| The expression of ZNF677 was analyzed by online database and immunohistochemistry, while the methylation level of ZNF677 was determined by the methylation-specific PCR. [Human Cell] |
|
|
|
| 49 key genes significantly associated with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) stemness were obtained. Next, scientists developed a molecular prognostic signature associated with stemness features of pan-RCC. [Cancer Investigation] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors elucidate the critical role of CSCs in the onset and spread of cancer and the characteristics of CSCs that promote severe resistance to targeted therapy. [Stem Cell Reviews and Reports] |
|

|
|
| The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and CIHR’s Institute of Cancer Research are among the founding members of G7 Cancer, led by the French Institut national du cancer. [Canadian Institutes of Health Research] |
|
|
|
| Sanford Research was recently awarded a $6.2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health for its continued cancer research in the upper Midwest. [Sanford Health] |
