Cancer stem cells(CSCs) have become an important target to overcome the obstacle of tumor therapy. In recent years, many reports have shown that the heterogenicity and plasticity of CSCs, and the microenvironment interact with each other, which become important factors affecting the dynamic conversion of CSCs. Therefore, we should not only focus on the stem characteristics of CSCs, but also consider the factors related to the regulation of the dynamic transformation of CSCs stemness. The signaling pathways, epithelial- mesenchymal transition(EMT) and the niche of CSCs, are proved to play an important role in the regulation of stemness of CSCs. The aspects are important in the studies of tumor therapy by targeting CSCs. This article summarizes the mechanisms for regulation of the stemness of cancer stem cells and the progress in the studies of targeting cancer stem cells with a focus on the CSCs dynamic regulation.

Purpose: STING (stimulator of interferon genes) is involved in viral and bacterial defense through interferon pathway and innate immunity. Increased susceptibility to infection is a common manifestation of multiple myeloma (MM). Thus, we aimed to explore the clinical significance and possible mechanism of STING in MM.

Recent technologic advancements have facilitated the use of hypofractionated Gamma Knife-based radiosurgery (HF-GKRS) to treat large lesions or those in eloquent areas. This study aimed to analyze the preliminary results of HF-GKRS for these meningiomas, and to determine its effectiveness and safety. This single-center retrospective study analyzed data of patients who underwent HF-GKRS for large meningiomas or those in eloquent areas with > 6 months of follow-up.

An adolescent girl with acute myeloid leukaemia underwent chemotherapy followed by haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Post-HSCT, she developed oral chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD), which was successfully treated. Twenty months later, she was referred to the gynaecology department for evaluation of secondary amenorrhoea.

Mosaic loss of Y (mLOY) is the most common somatic chromosomal alteration detected in human blood. The presence of mLOY is associated with altered blood cell counts and increased risk of Alzheimer disease, solid tumors, and other age-related diseases. We sought to gain a better understanding of genetic drivers and associated phenotypes of mLOY through analyses of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of a large set of genetically diverse males from the Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program.
