Dec 21, 2020

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynaecological cancer, most patients relapse within 12 to 24 months, and eventually die, especially platinum-resistant patients. Gene therapy has been one of the most...

A simple method using CRISPR-Cas9 to knock-out genes in murine cancerous cell lines.

Dec 21, 2020

CRISPR-Cas9 system can be used to generate knock-out cancer cell lines. An insertion or deletion induced by a single guide RNA (gRNA) is often used to generate knock-out cells, however, some cells exp...

Nanotechnology in ovarian cancer: Diagnosis and treatment.

Dec 21, 2020

To overcome the drawbacks of conventional delivery, this review spotlights a number of nanoscale drug delivery systems, including nanoparticles, liposomes, nano micelles, branched dendrimers, nanocaps...

A phase III, randomized, double blinded trial of platinum based chemotherapy with or without atezolizumab followed by niraparib maintenance with or without atezolizumab in patients with recurrent ovarian, tubal, or peritoneal cancer and platinum treatment free interval of more than 6 months: ENGOT-Ov41/GEICO 69-O/ANITA Trial.

Dec 17, 2020

Platinum based chemotherapy is the treatment of choice for ovarian cancer patients with a platinum treatment free interval of >6 months. Niraparib is an oral poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor ...

Sulfated glycosaminoglycans mediate prion-like behavior of p53 aggregates.

Dec 17, 2020

Sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as heparan sulfate (HS) are heteropolysaccharides implicated in the pathology of protein aggregation diseases including localized and systemic forms of amyloido...

Intratumoral immunostimulatory AdCD40L gene therapy in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Dec 17, 2020

Examining the Risk of VTE in Ovarian Cancer

Dec 15, 2020

Published research has shown that women with ovarian cancer have among the highest rates of venous thromboembolisms (VTEs) of all patients with cancer. “An estimated 5% to 25% of patients with ovari...

Prescribed Medical Cannabis in Women With Gynecologic Malignancies

Dec 14, 2020

Although cannabis remains illegal in many parts of the United States, 33 states have approved medical cannabis programs as of March 2020. “With the likely expansion of medical cannabis across the US...

Silencing of MEF2D by siRNA Loaded Selenium Nanoparticles for Ovarian Cancer Therapy.

Dec 14, 2020

Delivery of therapeutic small interfering RNA (siRNA) via functionalized nanoparticles holds great promise for cancer therapy. However, developing a safe and efficient delivery carrier of siRNA is a c...

BCL7C suppresses ovarian cancer growth by inactivating mutant p53.

Dec 14, 2020

B-cell CLL/lymphoma 7 protein family member C (BCL7C) located at chromosome 16p11.2 shares partial sequence homology with the other two family members, BCL7A and BCL7B. Its role in cancer remains comp...

An RGDKGE containing cryptic collagen fragment regulates phosphorylation of LATS1 and controls ovarian tumor growth by a YAP-dependent mechanism.

Dec 14, 2020

The growth and spread of malignant tumors such as ovarian carcinomas are governed in part by complex interconnected-signaling cascades occurring between stromal and tumor cells. These reciprocal cross...

Where does cellular senescence belong in the pathophysiology of ovarian cancer?

Dec 10, 2020

Although ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecological malignancies, there are still some issues that hamper accurate interpretation of the complexity of cellular and molecular event...

Reduced RBX1 expression induces chromosome instability and promotes cellular transformation in high-grade serous ovarian cancer precursor cells.

Dec 10, 2020

Despite high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) being the most common and lethal gynecological cancer in women, the early etiological events driving disease development remain largely unknown. Emergi...

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes inhibit cell migration and invasion by destroying actin cytoskeleton via mitochondrial dysfunction in ovarian cancer cells.

Dec 10, 2020

This study aimed to investigate the effects of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on cytotoxicity and tumor metastasis in ovarian cancer cells, and further explored its mechanism.MWCNTs significant...

Naturally occurring davanone terpenoid exhibits anticancer potential against ovarian cancer cells by inducing programmed cell death, by inducing caspase-dependent apoptosis, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, inhibition of cell migration and invasion and targeting PI3K/AKT/MAPK signaling pathway.

Dec 07, 2020

The current study was undertaken to examine the anticancer potential of davanone against human ovarian cancer cells along with evaluating its effects on cell apoptosis, PI3K/AKT/MAPK signaling pathway...
