Aldehyde dehydrogenase is regulated by Beta-catenin/TCF and promotes radioresistance in prostate cancer progenitor cells

Radiotherapy is a curative treatment option in prostate cancer. Nevertheless, patients with high-risk prostate cancer are prone to relapse. Identification of the predictive biomarkers and molecular mechanisms of radioresistance bears promise to improve...

Wnt/{beta}-catenin small molecule inhibitor CWP232228 preferentially inhibits the growth of breast cancer stem-like cells

Breast cancer stem cells (BCSC) are resistant to conventional chemotherapy and radiation, which may destroy tumor masses but not all BCSC that can mediate relapses. In the present study, we showed that the level of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in BCSC is r...

Targeting Wnt Signaling in Breast Cancer Stem Cells

Breast cancer stem cells (BCSC) are resistant to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which may destroy tumor masses but not all BCSC that can mediate relapses. In the present study, we showed that the level of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in BCSC ...

Breast Cancer-Protective Effect of Early Pregnancy

Pregnancy at early, but not late age, has a strong and life-long protective effect against breast cancer. The expected overall increase in breast cancer incidence demands the development of a pharmaceutical mimicry of early-age pregnancy–mediated pr...

Tumor-Promoting {gamma}{delta} T Lymphocytes

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes are key mediators of tumor immune surveillance and are important prognostic indicators in cancer progression. Among the various lymphocyte subsets implicated in protection against cancer are γδ T lymphocytes, which can...
