A new research perspective titled 'Adopted neoplastic cells and the consequences of their existence' has been published in Oncotarget.
. DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.28408In this research perspective, researcher Yuri Lazebnik from Lerna Consulting begins by explaining a view that guides the bulk ofand oncology: Each neoplastic cell in a tumor is a genetic offspring of another neoplastic cell.
"Yet, analyzing tumors from transplant patients has revealed that some normal migratory cells adopt the phenotype of neoplastic cells without acquiring their genome, thus becoming what I suggest to call adopted neoplastic cells," Lazebnik explains. This commentary reviews the evidence for the existence of adopted neoplastic cells, outlines the consequences of their presence, and discusses what kind of cells can be adopted, how and why.
"Finally, as experiments with humans can go only that far, and fortunately so, testing the hypotheses we have discussed will require experimental systems, such as human tumor explants, which have been explored to reveal intercellular bridging and chimeric animals designed to monitor cell fate, cell fusion, and component transfer," concludes Lazebnik.

Researchers find key for transforming cancer cells to muscle in rhabdomyosarcomaFor six years, Professor Christopher Vakoc's lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has been on a mission to transform sarcoma cells into regularly functioning tissue cells. Sarcomas are cancers that form in connective tissues such as muscle. Treatment often involves chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation—procedures that are especially tough on kids. If doctors could transform cancer cells into healthy cells, it would offer patients a whole new treatment option—one that could spare them and their families a great deal of pain and suffering.

Exploring the role of hypoxia-inducible factors in vascular smooth muscle cells under panvascular pathologiesAs an emerging concept, panvascular diseases encompass a group of cardiovascular disorders characterized mainly by atherosclerosis, involving crucial organs such as the heart, brain, kidneys, and limbs. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) plays a pivotal role as a major regulatory factor in the cardiovascular system's response to common stressors, such as hypoxia.
