Triterpenoids and rexinoids as multifunctional agents for the prevention and treatment of cancer

TL;DR: Synthetic oleanane triterpenoids and rexinoids are two new classes of multifunctional drugs that have unique molecular and cellular mechanisms of action and might prove to be synergistic with standard anti-cancer treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA precursor metabolism and genomic stability

TL;DR: This review focuses on developments since 1994, when the field was last reviewed comprehensively, and focuses on novel aspects of dNTP pool regulation, metabolism and hypermutagenesis in the mitochondrial genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

“Destemming” Cancer Stem Cells

TL;DR: Interest in cancer stem cells is currently high, arising from recent reports identifying cell surface markers that can be used to sort such cells from primary human tumors, but use of the term cancer stem cell may be misleading.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endogenous DNA replication stress results in expansion of dNTP pools and a mutator phenotype.

TL;DR: The data point to a vicious circle in which mutations in gatekeeper genes give rise to genomic instability during S phase, inducing expansion of the dNTP pool, which in turn results in high levels of spontaneous mutagenesis.

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.

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.

Human acute myeloid leukemia is organized as a hierarchy that originates from a primitive hematopoietic cell

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the cell capable of initiating human AML in non-obese diabetic mice with severe combined immunodeficiency disease (NOD/SCID mice) — termed the SCID leukemia-initiating cell, or SL-IC — possesses the differentiate and proliferative capacities and the potential for self-renewal expected of a leukemic stem cell.
