Abstract
NFκB represents a key transcription factor within the inflammatory tumor microenvironment; however, NFκB's function in tumor-initiating cells has not been examined yet. A recent Cell paper by Schwitalla et al. reports that NFκB modulates Wnt signaling and shows that enhanced Wnt activation induces dedifferentiation of nonstem cells that acquire tumor-initiating capacity.Entities:
