| Liver-specific methyltransferase 16 (Mettl16) conditional knockout mice were generated to assess its role in hepatocellular carcinoma pathogenesis and normal hepatogenesis. [Journal Of Hematology & Oncology] |

|
|
| Researchers discovered that EMSY, inducing a BRCAness phenotype, was preferentially expressed in breast CSCs, promoted ALDH+ cells enrichment, and was positively correlated with poor relapse-free survival. [Cell Reports Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Scientists developed a nanoparticle-assisted combination therapy to eliminate CSCs by employing photodynamic therapy to yield reactive oxygen species (ROS) while disrupting ROS defense with glutaminolysis inhibition. [Biomaterials] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed that the RNA-editing enzyme ADAR1 was a crucial stemness factor that promotes leukemia-initiating cell self-renewal by attenuating aberrant double-stranded RNA sensing. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The expression of USP40 in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and HCC cell lines was investigated using RT-qPCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. [Biology Direct] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that lncRNA deleted in lymphocytic leukemia-2 (lncRNA DLEU2) and ROR1 were specifically upregulated in tumor tissues compared to their normal counterparts in TCGA, PubMed GEO datasets, and samples from archived breast cancer tumor tissues. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported that the anti-schistosome agent lucanthone impeded tumor growth in a preclinical model of temozolomide-resistant glioblastoma, and reduced the numbers of stem-like glioma cells. [Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics] |
|
|
|
| Cisplatin-resistant cell lines were established using the concentration gradient overlay method, and differentially expressed genes in resistant cells were screened through RNA sequencing. [Environmental Toxicology] |
|
|
|
| Commercially available protein arrays were used to determine the cell surface signature of eight stem-like glioma cells (SLGC) lines from glioblastoma multiformes (GBM), one SLGC line obtained from a xenotransplanted GBM-derived SLGC line, and three SLGC lines from gliosarcomas. [PLOS One] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors provide an overview of piRNA biogenesis and critically review the evidence for the role of piRNA-PIWI axis in CSCs. [Biomarker Research] |

|
|
| The Alberta Cancer Foundation revealed the inaugural recipients of its Game Changer Fund. This transformative initiative aims to accelerate local cancer research by fostering collaboration between researchers and frontline clinicians. [Alberta Cancer Foundation] |
|
|
|
| The University of Sheffield and Yorkshire Cancer Research have announced seven world-leading research studies that will aim to help more people survive cancer by exploring new solutions in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. [University of Sheffield] |
