stem cell markers

[Cell Death & Disease] Numb silencing in cultured intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cells enhanced cell spheroid growth, invasion, metastasis, and the expression of stem cell markers.

[eLife] Using a newly derived carcinogen transformed human cell model, researchers demonstrated that fine-tuned Drp1 repression primed a slow cycling 'stem/progenitor-like state', which was characterized by small networks of fused mitochondria and a gene-expression profile with elevated functional stem/progenitor markers and their regulators.

[Acta Histochemica] Scientists investigated the expression of CD44 and CD133 in gastric cancer and non-neoplastic gastric mucosa. They used samples of primary gastric adenocarcinomas, metastatic lymph nodes, intestinal metaplasia, and histologically normal gastric tissues of surgical margins.

[Molecular Cancer Research] To elucidate the underlying mechanisms that drive breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) tumorigenicity in TNBC, scientists identified the long noncoding RNA BMP/OP-Responsive Gene (BORG) as an enhancer of BCSC phenotypes.

[Cancer Letters] Scientists designed a meta-analysis to assess gene expression profiles in different breast cancer cell lines focusing on the secretory factors responsible for conversion.

[Cell Death Discovery] Researchers investigated the mechanism by which lncRNA LINC00261 affected the biological functions of cancer stem cells during the progression of pancreatic cancer.
