Nanoparticles for Drug and Gene Delivery in Pediatric Brain Tumors’ Cancer Stem Cells: Current Knowledge and Future Perspectives

TL;DR: In this paper , a review of nanoparticle-based approaches for the treatment of brain tumor is presented, together with recent advances in nanoparticle design/synthesis with the final aim to specifically target the insidious CSCs population in the tumor bulk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterogeneity of glioblastoma stem cells in the context of the immune microenvironment and geospatial organization

TL;DR: The diversity of CSC lineages present in GBM and how this glioma stem cell (GSC) mosaicism drives global intratumoral heterogeneity constituted by complex and spatially distinct local microenvironments is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein Kinase D1 Signaling in Cancer Stem Cells with Epithelial-Mesenchymal Plasticity

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors demonstrate that CSCs in human pNETs co-express protein kinase PKD1 and CD44, and further identify PKD-1 signaling as a critical pathway in the control of CSC maintenance in pNET cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cytotoxic Effects of Cannabidiol and Cannabigerol on Glioblastoma Stem Cells May Mostly Involve GPR55 and TRPV1 Signalling

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed that GPR55 and TRPV1 receptors are the best targets for the antagonistic cannabinoids CBD and CBG (in an optimized mixture) to eliminate GBM stem cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

New insights into the Immune TME of adult-type diffuse gliomas

TL;DR: In this paper , a comprehensive dissection of the intratumoral ecosystem of human gliomas using single-cell and spatial transcriptomic approaches is presented, which supports the prognostic value of tumorassociated macrophages and microglial cells, and sheds light on novel therapeutic options.

Prospective identification of tumorigenic breast cancer cells

TL;DR: The ability to prospectively identify tumorigenic cancer cells will facilitate the elucidation of pathways that regulate their growth and survival and strategies designed to target this population may lead to more effective therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

CBTRUS statistical report: primary brain and central nervous system tumors diagnosed in the United States in 2007-2011.

TL;DR: The Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Cancer Institute, is the largest population-based registry focused exclusively on primary brain and other central nervous system (CNS) tumors in the US.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of human brain tumour initiating cells

TL;DR: The development of a xenograft assay that identified human brain tumour initiating cells that initiate tumours in vivo gives strong support for the CSC hypothesis as the basis for many solid tumours, and establishes a previously unidentified cellular target for more effective cancer therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The clonal evolution of tumor cell populations

TL;DR: Each patient's cancer may require individual specific therapy, and even this may be thwarted by emergence of a genetically variant subline resistant to the treatment, which should be directed toward understanding and controlling the evolutionary process in tumors before it reaches the late stage usually seen in clinical cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glioma stem cells promote radioresistance by preferential activation of the DNA damage response

TL;DR: This work shows that cancer stem cells contribute to glioma radioresistance through preferential activation of the DNA damage checkpoint response and an increase in DNA repair capacity, and suggests that CD133-positive tumour cells could be the source of tumour recurrence after radiation.
