    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods of monitoring cancer stem cells in patients undergoing cancer therapy to determine whether the cancer therapy is an effective cancer therapy. The present invention relates to methods for monitoring the amount of cancer stem cells prior to, during, and/or following cancer treatment of a patient. In particular, the methods provide measuring the amount of cancer stem cells i) in a sample obtained from a patient and/or ii) in a patient via in vivo imaging, e.g. at different time points before, during or after a treatment regimen for cancer. The change in amount of cancer stem cells over time allows the physician to judge the effectiveness of the treatment regimen and then to decide to continue, alter, or halt the treatment regimen if need be. The present invention also provides kits for monitoring cancer stem cells prior to, during, and/or following cancer treatment of a patient. The present invention also provides for a method of treatment of cancer, wherein such method involves the use of a therapeutic agent that stabilizes or reduces the amount of cancer stem cells in or from a patient.

    Abstract: The present invention provides antibodies that bind to the IL-3 receptor alpha subunit alpha (Il3Rα) chain, and compositions comprising such antibodies. The present invention provides methods for inhibiting or reducing an IL3Rα-expressing cell population, the methods comprising contacting a population of IL3Rα-expressing cells (e.g., cancer cells and/or cancer stem cells) with an antibody that binds to IL3Rα. The present invention also provides antibody conjugates comprising an antibody that binds to an IL3Rα chain linked to a cytotoxic agent or anticellular agent and compositions comprising such conjugates. The present invention also provides methods for preventing, treating and/or managing a disorder associated with IL3Rα-expressing cells (e.g., a hematological cancer), the methods comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an antibody that binds to IL3Rα.

    Abstract: A method of manipulating the fate of a cell, which comprises contacting the cell with at least one of (a) a cell fate-determining untranslated/noncoding RNA species (cuR), (b) a modified cuR, or (c) a compound that modifies or affects cuR, under conditions sufficient to cause a cell-changing or cell-maintaining fate that results in cell regeneration, cell differentiation or cell death, so that an increase of desirable cells or a decrease in undesirable cells can be obtained. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of manipulating the fate of a cell by contacting the cell with a compound that affects a fate-determining mechanism involving homologous nucleic acid interactions of RNA:RNA or RNA:DNA or resolution of such interactions under conditions sufficient to cause a cell-changing or cell-maintaining fate that results in cell regeneration, cell differentiation or cell death, so that an increase of desirable cells or a decrease in undesirable cells can be obtained. The invention generates cell fate or cell maintenance in a subject, such as a human, so that an increase of desirable cells or a decrease in undesirable cells can be obtained in the subject. This feature can be applied to a therapeutic method of treating a condition in a subject.
