Cancer stem cells in recurrence and therapy resistance: biological insights and emerging therapeutic strategies Y. Tamilselvi, P. Velmurugan, K. Sivasubramanian, and Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2026 Cancer stem cells (CSCs), a resilient subset of tumor cells, able to evade immune detection and rapidly proliferate, are responsible for the metastasis, recurrence, and therapeutic resistance observed across various cancers. Recent research has concentrated on understanding the molecular networks that support CSCs immune evasion, self-renewal, and adaptability. Signaling pathways (Wnt, Notch, Hedgehog, JAK-STAT) and surface markers (CD44, CD133, ALDH1) that characterize CSC behaviour are compiled in this review. We highlight the expanding usefulness of omics technologies, such as CRISPR functional genomics, single-cell transcriptomics, and spatial proteomics, in determining vulnerabilities unique to CSCs and guiding tailored treatment plans. Keywords: cancer stem cells, resistance to treatment, signalling pathways, surface markers, targeted therapy
