SOX2-high cancer cells exhibit an aggressive phenotype, with increases in stemness, proliferation and invasion, as well as higher metabolic activity and ATP production (2022)
Journal Article
Mauro Lizcano, M., Sotgia, F., & Lisanti, M. (2022). SOX2-high cancer cells exhibit an aggressive phenotype, with increases in stemness, proliferation and invasion, as well as higher metabolic activity and ATP production. Aging, 14(24), 9877-9889. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.204452

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are responsible for cancer recurrence, treatment failure and metastatic dissemination. As such, the elimination of CSCs represents one of the most important approaches for the future of cancer treatment. Among other propertie...

Identification of natural products and FDA-approved drugs for targeting cancer stem cell (CSC) propagation (2022)
Journal Article
Bonuccelli, G., Sotgia, F., & Lisanti, M. (2022). Identification of natural products and FDA-approved drugs for targeting cancer stem cell (CSC) propagation. Aging, 14(23), 9466-9483. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.204412

Here, we report the identification of key compounds that effectively inhibit the anchorage-independent growth and propagation of cancer stem cells (CSCs), as determined via screening using MCF7 cells, a human breast adenocarcinoma cell line. More spe... Read More about Identification of natural products and FDA-approved drugs for targeting cancer stem cell (CSC) propagation.

New insights into cholesterol-mediated ERRα activation in breast cancer progression and pro-tumoral microenvironment orchestration. (2022)
Journal Article
Brindisi, M., Frattaruolo, L., Fiorillo, M., Dolce, V., Sotgia, F., Lisanti, M., & Cappello, A. (2022). New insights into cholesterol-mediated ERRα activation in breast cancer progression and pro-tumoral microenvironment orchestration. FEBS Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/febs.16651

Breast cancer remains the greatest cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. Its aggressiveness and progression derive from intricate processes that occur simultaneously both within the tumour itself and in the neighbouring cells that make up...
