    A Novel Type of Monocytic Leukemia Stem Cell Revealed by the Clinical Use of Venetoclax-Based Therapy

    Investigators demonstrated a previously unrecognized form of pathogenesis characterized by monocytic disease progression arose from a fundamentally different type of leukemia stem cell (LSC) that was developmentally and clinically distinct from the more well-described primitive LSC.

    Extracellular Matrix-Derived Mechanical Force Governs Breast Cancer Cell Stemness and Quiescence Transition Through Integrin-DDR Signaling

    Scientists explored the influence of extracellular matrix-derived biomechanical force on breast cancer cell status. Experiments were conducted using 3D collagen, fibrinogen, and Matrigel matrices to investigate the role of mechanical force in tumor development.

    Control of SOX2 Protein Stability and Tumorigenic Activity by E3 Ligase CHIP in Esophageal Cancer Cells

    The authors identified CHIP, a chaperone-associated ubiquitin E3 ligase, as a novel negative regulator of SOX2 protein stability and tumorigenic activity in esophageal squamous carcinoma cells.

    Solasonine Inhibits Cancer Stemness and Metastasis by Modulating Glucose Metabolism via Wnt/β-Catenin/Snail Pathway in Osteosarcoma

    Researchers investigated the impact of solasonine (SS) on the growth of osteosarcoma (OS) cells. OS cells were treated with different concentrations of SS for 24 hours, and the results showed that SS attenuated the survival of OS cells in a dose-dependent manner.

    Abstract

    ZEB1 Potentiates Chemoresistance in Breast Cancer Stem Cells by Evading Apoptosis

    In silico analysis revealed a higher ZEB1 expression in breast cancer patients that led to decreased overall and relapse-free survival. Scientists generated sorted breast CSC with stable ZEB1 overexpression and/or silencing as well as breast cancer cells with stable ZEB1 overexpression and/or silencing
