    Fibrin Stiffness Regulates Phenotypic Plasticity of Metastatic Breast Cancer Cells

    Investigators cultured circulating tumor cells-like DU4475 triple negative breast cancer cells in mechanically tunable 3D fibrin hydrogel scaffolds. They showed that fibrin hydrogels supported DU4475 cell growth, resulting in spheroid formation.

    Abstract

    A Novel TOX3-WDR5-ABCG2 Signaling Axis Regulates the Progression of Colorectal Cancer by Accelerating Stem-Like Traits and Chemoresistance

    ABCG2 was found to be markedly up–regulated in colorectal cancer (CRC) CSCs expansion and chemo–resistant CRC tissues and closely associated with CRC recurrence.

    Extracellular Vesicle-Carried GTF2I from Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promotes the Expression of Tumor-Suppressive FAT1 and Inhibits Stemness Maintenance in Thyroid Carcinoma

    The effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles enriched with GTF2I were evaluated on the epithelial–to–mesenchymal transition and stemness maintenance in thyroid carcinoma.

    Abstract

    Ubiquitin-Specific Peptidase 5 Facilitates Cancer Stem Cell-Like Properties in Lung Cancer by Deubiquitinating β-Catenin

    Phenotypic effects of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 5 on the CSC-like properties and metastasis were examined by in vitro sphere formation assay, migration assay, invasion assay, and in vivo xenografted animal models.

    Abstract

    Cancer Stem Cells of Esophageal Adenocarcinoma are Suppressed by Inhibitors of TRPV2 and SLC12A2

    Researchers examined the expression profiles of ion transport-related molecules in the CSCs of esophageal adenocarcinoma.

    Abstract

    MPZL1 Suppresses the Cancer Stem-Like Properties of Lung Cancer Through β-Catenin/TCF4 Signaling

    Scientists explored the influence of myelin protein zero-like protein 1 (MPZL1) on the stem-like properties of cancer cells and the underlying mechanism in lung adenocarcinoma.
