Abstract excerpt
Tumor growth and relapse are often driven by cancer stem cells, but self-renewal mechanisms and genetic mutations that elevate their number are not fully understood. Here, we show that recurrent L122R mutation (Leucine to Argine change at amino acid 122) in the DNA-binding site of the Myogenic Differentiation 1 (MYOD1) transcription factor increases cancer stem cell frequency in aggressive Spindle cell/sclerosing...
