Implications of Cancer Stem Cells in Diabetes and Pancreatic Cancer

[Small] Ellagic acid inhibited stemness maintenance by suppressing the hedgehog pathway, while Cu2+ further decreased stemness features of tumor cells by disrupting mitochondrial metabolism, effectively enhancing doxorubicin-mediated chemotherapy.

[Translational Oncology] Researchers determined the phenotypic and therapeutic relevance of tumor microenvironment in neurofibroma type I (NF1) patients. Tumor stem cell from NF1 were isolated and cultured using fluorescence activated cell sorting and colony formation experiments.

[Cancer Gene Therapy] Loss- and gain-of-function experiments were utilized to assess the biological effects of METTL3 and SOCS3 on the proliferation and stemness phenotypes in vitro and in vivo.
