EMT, CSCs, and drug resistance: the mechanistic link and clinical implications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the link between the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the cancer stem cell (CSC) phenotype and discuss how this knowledge can contribute to improvements in clinical practice.

TL;DR: This model in which AML develops by serial acquisition of mutations in long-lived self-renewing hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) suggest the clonal evolution of AML genomes from founder mutations, revealing a potential mechanism contributing to relapse.
Fluorescence-activated cell sorting.

TL;DR: Cell aggregation occurs during centrifugation washes and can lead to tremendous losses of cells due to mega-clumps, which can be minimized by using round bottom tubes and Polypropylene is the best plastic to use with cells.

Clonal Analysis Unveils Self-Renewing Lineage-Restricted Progenitors Generated Directly from Hematopoietic Stem Cells
Ryo Yamamoto,Yohei Morita,Jun Ooehara,Sanae Hamanaka,Masafumi Onodera,Karl Lenhard Rudolph,Hideo Ema,Hiromitsu Nakauchi +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that loss of self-renewal and stepwise progression through specific differentiation stages are not essential for lineage commitment of HSCs and suggest a revised model of hematopoietic differentiation.

TL;DR: In mice, tumours derived from transplanted human CD271+ melanoma cells were capable of metastatsis in vivo, which helps to explain why T-cell therapies directed at these antigens usually result in only temporary tumour shrinkage.

Stochasticity and cell fate.

TL;DR: It is speculated on why stochasticity is advantageous—and even critical in some circumstances—to the individual, the colony, or the species.
