Integrin-β4 identifies cancer stem cell-enriched populations of partially mesenchymal carcinoma cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Neoplastic cells within individual carcinomas often exhibit considerable phenotypic heterogeneity in their epithelial versus mesenchymal-like cell states. Because carcinoma cells with mesenchymal features are often more resistant to therapy and may serve

Phytochemical‐Based Strategies for Lung Cancer: Clinical Insights Into Pleiotropic Molecular Signaling and Therapeutic Roles

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 2003-2024, April 2026.
Lung cancer (LC) remains the leading cause of global cancer‐related death. Phytochemicals from medicinal plants are increasingly being considered as potential LC treatment agents due to their multi‐targeted action, safety, and accessibility. These have anticancer properties by regulating key molecular signaling pathways.

Sox9-regulated cell plasticity in colorectal metastasis is attenuated by rapamycin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis proposes a hierarchical organization of tumors, in which stem-like cells sustain tumors and drive metastasis.

Decoding the Cellular Heterogeneity and Malignant Progression of Human Penile Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Single‐Cell RNA Sequencing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.
Single‐cell transcriptomic and functional analyses identify SEMA3C as a key regulator of tumor progression and tumor microenvironment remodeling in penile squamous cell carcinoma. SEMA3C promotes epithelial–mesenchymal transition, tumor growth, and invasion while shaping an immunosuppressive microenvironment, highlighting its potential as a prognostic ...

Colon adenocarcinoma-derived cells that express induced-pluripotent stem cell markers possess stem cell function.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
AimsMuch work has been done to find markers of cancer stem cells (CSCs) that distinguish them from the tumor bulk cells and normal cells. Recent CSC research has applied the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) concept. In this study, we investigated the

A potential role for Dkk-1 in the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma predicts novel diagnostic and treatment strategies. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Canonical Wnt signaling is an osteo-inductive signal that promotes bone repair through acceleration of osteogenic differentiation by progenitors. Dkk-1 is a secreted inhibitor of canonical Wnt signaling and thus inhibits osteogenesis.

Activation of β-catenin and Akt pathways by Twist are critical for the maintenance of EMT associated cancer stem cell-like characters

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2011
Background Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) not only confers tumor cells with a distinct advantage for metastatic dissemination, but also it provides those cells with cancer stem cell-like characters for proliferation and drug resistance. However,

Mutations in glioblastoma oncosuppressive pathways pave the way for oncomodulatory activity of cytomegalovirus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Over the last decade, cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been suggested to promote the development of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Recent evidence demonstrates that CMV contributes to the progression of GBM in the context of oncosuppressor gene mutations.

Constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) functions as a tumor suppressor via regulating stemness in liver cancer

open access: yesScientific Reports
Constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) is a xenosensor that is almost exclusively expressed in the liver. Studies in rodents suggest an oncogenic role for CAR in liver cancer, but its role in human liver cancer is unclear.

Oncolytic Adenovirus for the Targeting of Paclitaxel-Resistant Breast Cancer Stem Cells

open access: yesViruses
Adjuvant systemic therapies effectively reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence and metastasis, but therapy resistance can develop in some patients due to breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). Oncolytic adenovirus (OAd) represents a promising therapeutic
