A team of researchers at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Niigata University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, led by Professor Takayuki Enomoto and Assistant Professor Tatsuya Ishiguro successfully cultivated endometrial cancer stem cells in vitro in collaboration with Professor Tohru Minamino at Department of Cardiovascular Biology and Medicine, Dr. Koji Okamoto, Chief of Division of Cancer Differentiation, National Cancer Center Research Institute, among others. It was demonstrated that aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitors and glucose uptake inhibitors synergized with paclitaxel to suppress the growth of endometrial cancer cells.
The results of this study were published in Stem Cell Reports, a scientific journal published by Cell Press, and made the cover of the journal.
