SKP1 promotes YAP-mediated colorectal cancer stemness via suppressing RASSF1
Background Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been recognized as an important drug target, however, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully understood. SKP1 is a traditional drug target for cancer therapy, while, whether SKP1 promotes colorectal cancer (

NCAPG stimulates lung adenocarcinoma cell stemness through aerobic glycolysis
Background Cancer stem cells are pivotal in cancer progression and therapy, including lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). High NCAPG level is implicated in malignant tumorigenesis, but investigations on NCAPG and LUAD stem cells are warranted.

Down-regulation of the Lamin A/C in neuroblastoma triggers the expansion of tumor initiating cells [PDF]
Tumor-initiating cells constitute a population within a tumor mass that shares properties with normal stem cells and is considered responsible for therapy failure in many cancers.

NANOGP8 is the key regulator of stemness, EMT, Wnt pathway, chemoresistance, and other malignant phenotypes in gastric cancer cells. [PDF]
Accumulating evidence demonstrated that NANOG1, the key transcription factor for embryonic stem cells, is associated with human cancers. NANOGP8, one of the pseudogenes in NANOG gene family, contains an intact open reading frame and also said to be ...

Human prostate sphere-forming cells represent a subset of basal epithelial cells capable of glandular regeneration in vivo. [PDF]
BackgroundProstate stem/progenitor cells function in glandular development and maintenance. They may be targets for tumor initiation, so characterization of these cells may have therapeutic implications.

Maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK) regulates multipotent neural progenitor proliferation. [PDF]
Maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK) was previously identified in a screen for genes enriched in neural progenitors. Here, we demonstrate expression of MELK by progenitors in developing and adult brain and that MELK serves as a marker for self-

Effect of miR-181c-5p on vasculogenic mimicry in ovarian cancer stem-like cells and its mechanism [PDF]
Objective To investigate the effect of miR-181c-5p on vasculogenic mimicry (VM) in ovarian cancer stem-like cells (OCS-LCs) and its mechanism. Methods OVCAR3 cells were induced into OCS-LCs by serum-free suspension culture. OVCAR3 cells were divided into
