TLDR
A cell population enriched for GICs that expresses high levels of CD44 and Id1 and tend to be located in a perivascular niche is identified, which confer poor prognosis in GBM patients.

TGFβ signalling in context.

TL;DR: The basic elements of the transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) pathway were revealed and the concept of how the TGFβ signal travels from the membrane to the nucleus has been enriched with additional findings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer stem cells in glioblastoma

TL;DR: To fulfill the future goal of developing novel therapies to collapse CSC dynamics, drawing parallels to other normal and pathological states that are highly interactive with their microenvironments and that use developmental signaling pathways will be beneficial.

Targeting the TGFβ signalling pathway in disease.

TL;DR: Why the TGFβ signalling pathway is a drug target, the potential clinical applications of TGF β inhibition, the issues arising with anti-TGFβ therapy and how these might be tackled using personalized approaches to dosing, monitoring of biomarkers as well as brief and/or localized drug-dosing regimens are considered.

The Cancer Stem Cell Niche: How Essential Is the Niche in Regulating Stemness of Tumor Cells?

TL;DR: This work focuses on the CSC niche and discusses its contribution to tumor initiation and progression and examines the prospects of targeting the niche components as preferable therapeutic targets.

The Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Generates Cells with Properties of Stem Cells

TL;DR: It is reported that the induction of an EMT in immortalized human mammary epithelial cells (HMLEs) results in the acquisition of mesenchymal traits and in the expression of stem-cell markers, and it is shown that those cells have an increased ability to form mammospheres, a property associated with mammARY epithelial stem cells.

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.

TGFβ in Cancer

TL;DR: The mechanistic basis and clinical relevance of TGFbeta's role in cancer is becoming increasingly clear, paving the way for a better understanding of the complexity and therapeutic potential of this pathway.

Cancer stem cells in solid tumours: accumulating evidence and unresolved questions

TL;DR: The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis provides an attractive cellular mechanism to account for the therapeutic refractoriness and dormant behaviour exhibited by many of these tumours.
