| A nanotherapeutic strategy was developed using tumor-penetrating peptide iRGD-modified high-density lipoprotein-mimetic nanodiscs that ingeniously loaded with pyropheophorbide-a, bis (2-hydroxyethyl) disulfide, and camptothecin by synthesizing two amphiphilic drug-conjugated sphingomyelin derivatives.

|
| The essential role of Par-3 Family Cell Polarity Regulator (PARD3) in mediating hepatic tumorigenesis was assessed in diet-induced spontaneous liver tumor and syngeneic tumor models. [Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research] |

|
| The authors demonstrated that inhibition of tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 in leukemia stem cells increased their glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, enhancing their sensitivity to chemotherapy and vulnerability to immunosurveillance. [Nature Cell Biology] |

|
| Researchers utilized the MMTV-cre, The Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 22 (Usp22)fl/fl transgenic mouse model to study the involvement of USP22 in the stem cell-like properties of the growing mammary tissue. [Cell Communication And Signaling] |

|
| Scientists employed microfluidic single-cell culture arrays to expand renal cancer stem cells by exploiting the anti-apoptosis and self-renewal properties of tumor stem cells. [Lab On A Chip] |

|
| The bioinformatics method was used to analyze the mRNA and protein expression characteristics of MUC1 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). [Annals of Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Researchers revealed that CagA-positive gastric cancer cells infected with H. pylori exhibited CSC-like properties, such as heightened expression of CD44, a specific surface marker for CSCs, and increased ability to form tumor spheroids. [Journal of Cellular Biochemistry] |

WWTR1-AS1 expression was upregulated in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) tissues. WWTR1-AS1 was predicted to interact with miR-136, whereas correlation analysis revealed that there was no close correlation between WWTR1-AS1 and miR-136 across CSCC samples. [BMC Womens Health] |
