| Researchers showed that genetic depletion and pharmacological inhibition of fat mass and obesity-associated protein dramatically attenuated leukemia stem/initiating cell self-renewal and reprogrammed immune response by suppressing expression of immune checkpoint genes, especially LILRB4.

|
| Scientists identified protein kinase A (PKA) as an active kinase in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Inhibition of PKA activity genetically, or pharmacologically by activation of the PP2A phosphatase, suppressed SCLC expansion in culture and in vivo.

|
| Researchers identified TBC1D15-mediated oncogenic mechanisms and tested the tumorigenic roles of TBC1D15 in vivo.

|
|
| Investigators showed that glioma stem cells (GSCs) secreted the Wnt‐induced signaling protein 1 (WISP1) to facilitate a pro-tumor microenvironment by promoting the survival of both GSCs and tumor-associated macrophages.

|
| The authors report that ibuprofen diminished cancer cell stemness properties that include reducing the ALDH+ subpopulation, side population and sphere formation in three cancer types.

|
| Scientists demonstrated that the downregulation of caveolin-1 usually occurred in breast cancer stem cells and was associated with a metabolic switch from mitochondrial respiration to aerobic glycolysis.

|
| Researchers investigated the potential role and mechanism of metabolism dysregulation in chronic hexavalent chromium carcinogenesis. It was found that Cr(VI)-transformed cells displayed glycolytic shift, which depends on the up-regulation of c-Myc.

|
| The effects of miR-128-3p and temozolomide (TMZ) on the proliferation of glioblastoma cells were investigated by cell counting kit-8. Transwell and intracerebral invasion assays were applied to determine the effects of the combination of miR-128-3p and TMZ on the invasion and migration of glioblastoma in vitro and in vivo.

| Tocilizumab suppressed the stemness‐related characteristics of triple‐negative breast cancer cells, through the inhibition of the Wnt/β‐catenin breast cancer stem cell‐related pathway.

|
| The authors review the published evidence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in soft tissue sarcoma (STS), discussing the molecular characteristic of CSCs, the commonly used isolation techniques and the new possibilities of targeting CSCs as a way to improve STS treatment and consequently patient outcome.

| The University of California (UC) system announced it has signed the biggest open-access deal in North America with one of the largest commercial scientific publishers. The agreement with Springer Nature includes a commitment by the publisher to explore making all articles that UC corresponding authors publish in the Nature family of journals immediately free to read on publication starting in 2022.
