| Investigators showed that lymphatic endothelial-like cells, while previously unrecognized in brain parenchyma, were present in glioblastomas and promoted growth of CCR7-positive glioblastoma stem cells through CCL21 secretion. [Nature Cancer] |

|
| Researchers showed that transmembrane and immunoglobulin domain containing 2 (TMIGD2), a recently discovered co-stimulatory immune receptor, was aberrantly expressed by human AML cells, and could be used to identify and enrich functional leukemia stem cells. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists demonstrated that peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (Pin1) was deubiquitinated and stabilized by USP34, which promoted isomerization of the sole SUMO E2 enzyme Ubc9, leading to SUMO1-modified hypersumoylation to support glioma stem cell maintenance. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Using heterotypic cancer associated fibroblast (CAF)-ovarian cancer (OC) cocultures and in vivo limiting dilution assay, the authors confirmed that the CAFs acted by enriching the CSC population. [npj Precision Oncology] |
|
|
|
| By combining RNA sequencing with proteome-wide label-free quantification, investigators reported that MALT1 repression in patient-derived glioblastoma stem-like cells altered the homeostasis of cholesterol, which accumulated in late endosomes-lysosomes. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists found that inducible inhibition of β-catenin suppressed elongation of Pol II and RNA polymerase-associated factor 1 complex (PAF1C) around the transcription start site (TSS) of LGR5. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| Tumor tissues of 212 breast cancer patients were subjected to tissue microarray and further assessed the associations of tandem C2 domains, nuclear (TC2N) expression with pathological parameters and FASN expression. [Journal of Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| In screening for small molecules, the authors identified salinomycin, an inducer of ferroptosis, as a potent inhibitor of MUC1-C signaling. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| RNA-seq was performed to elucidate transcriptional alterations between desmoplastic small round cell tumor cells grown in CSC-like spheres and normal 2-dimensional adherent state. [Oncogenesis] |
| |
|
|
|
| Investigators summarize the latest published research on resveratrol’s effect in the prevention of CRC, its regulatory actions, specifically on the p53 pathway, and its treatment options. [Journal of Advanced Research] |
|
|
|
|
| The BEST4 trial launched at Addenbrooke’s Hospital was the final step to see if the capsule sponge, known as the pill-on-a-thread, can prevent oesophageal cancer when used to screen or monitor those most at risk of the disease. [University of Cambridge] |

|
| Dr. Elizabeth E. Brown and Dr. Lalita Shevde-Samant are co-leading a new research education program entitled University of Alabama at Birmingham Enhancing Research in Cancer-related Health Professions with support from the National Cancer Institute. [The University of Alabama at Birmingham] |
