In normal breast tissue, nestin is expressed in the basal/myoepithelial cells. In BC, nestin identifies basal-like tumors and predicts aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. Also, it is been detected in BC stem cells and newly-formed tumor vessels promoting invasion and metastasis. [review] PMID: 29901100

22. Results show that the positive rates and expression levels of nestin, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), GFAP and IL-17 were significantly decreased while Foxp3 and the ratio of Foxp3/IL-17 were statistically elevated in BM of AML patients. PMID: 27016413
23. Nestin may have an important role in GIST malignancy by regulating mitochondrial dynamics and altering intracellular ROS levels. The findings provide new clues to reveal mechanisms by which nestin mediates the proliferation and invasion of GISTs. PMID: 26434586
24. he present study reveals that nestin expression is a prognostic indicator of a poorer survival probability in NSCLC patients receiving adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy , although its prognostic significance still requires confirmation with larger patient populations PMID: 28358810
25. Data suggest that negative feedback mediated by GLI3 (GLI-Kruppel family member) acts to finely tune SHH (sonic hedgehog) signaling. During medulloblastoma (MB) formation, nerve tissue cells appear to express nestin which hyperactivates SHH signaling by abolishing negative feedback by GLI3. Restoration of intrinsic negative feedback by repressing nestin expression represents a promising approach to treat MB. [REVIEW] PMID: 28389227
