    DNA Hypomethylation Silences Anti-Tumor Immune Genes in Early Prostate Cancer and CTCs

    Through high-resolution genome-wide single-cell DNA methylation sequencing, scientists identified 40 core domains that were uniformly hypomethylated from the earliest detectable stages of prostate malignancy through metastatic circulating tumor cells.

    Targeting Intratumor Heterogeneity Suppresses Colorectal Cancer Chemoresistance and Metastasis

    Researchers integrated single-cell RNA-seq and functional validation to show that asymmetric division of colorectal cancer stem-like cells is critical for early intratumor heterogeneity establishment.

    Comprehensive Profiling of Stem-Like Features in Pediatric Glioma Cell Cultures and Their Relation to the Subventricular Zone

    Investigators comprehensively documented the stem-like capacities of seven in-use pediatric glioma cell cultures using parallel in vitro assays assessing stem cell-related protein expression, multipotency, self-renewal and proliferation/quiescence, and in vivo investigation of their tumorigenicity and invasiveness.

    Activated KRAS Reprograms Neural Progenitor Cells to Glioma Stem Cell-Like Phenotype

    How neoplastic transformation occurs in normal neural projenitor cells (NPCs) and the role of the Ras/Raf/MAPK pathway in NPC transformation is unclear. Investigators generated NPCs from human embryonic stem cells carrying gene alterations in the Ras/Raf/MAPK pathway.

    Abstract

    Interplay Between EZH2/β-Catenin in Stemness of Cisplatin-Resistant HNSCC and Their Role As Therapeutic Targets

    The authors identified epigenetic modifications involved in the control of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling and investigate the role of this pathway in the accumulation of CSC and chemoresistance of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

    Two Cancer Drug Trials Put on Hold After Patients Died, Companies Say

    Two clinical trials have been paused within the past two days because six participants– including one child– have died, according to reports by the drug companies. The two trials were unrelated: They were in different stages and testing therapies. But both were testing new cancer treatments.
