Navigating the Depths of Cancer Stem Cells: Unraveling Resistance Mechanisms and Emerging Therapeutic Strategies
Abstract: In the past few decades, comprehensive evidence has convincingly established the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) as a minor subset within tumors, contributing to an unusually elevated level of cellular diversity within the malignancy. CSCs are functionally identified by their capacity for self-renewal and differentiation, frequently influenced by signals from their surrounding microenvironment. The interconnected transcriptional, post-transcriptional, metabolic, and epigenetic regulatory networks govern the biological characteristics of CSCs. CSCs …

Cellular Mechanisms of Autophagy in Carcinogenesis: A Narrative Review
Abstract: Autophagy is a highly conserved lysosomal degradation pathway essential for cellular homeostasis, metabolic adaptation, and survival under stress. In the context of carcinogenesis, autophagy exhibits a paradoxical and stage-dependent role. During early tumor development, autophagy acts as a tumor-suppressive mechanism by limiting genomic instability, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation. Conversely, in established malignancies, cancer cells exploit autophagy to sustain growth, survive hostile tumor microenvironments, and resist anticancer therapies. Increasing evidence …
