Apr 14, 2020

Ovarian cancer G protein-coupled receptor 1 (OGR1), also known as GPR68, is a proton-sensing G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) coupling to G/phospholipase C/Ca signaling pathways. The specific histidi...

Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) levels in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers: A preliminary study.

Apr 14, 2020

Female carriers of BRCA1 or BRCA2 germline mutations are at a substantially increased risk for developing breast and ovarian cancer. The lack of effective early detection schemes for ovarian cancer, m...

Co-Delivery of Curcumin and Cisplatin to Enhance Cytotoxicity of Cisplatin Using Lipid-Chitosan Hybrid Nanoparticles.

Apr 14, 2020

Lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LPHNP) are suitable for co-delivery of hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs. The structural advantages of polymers and biomimetic properties of lipids enable higher enc...

Site-Specific Antibody Conjugation Strategy to Functionalize Virus-Based Nanoparticles.

Apr 14, 2020

Amine/thiol-reactive chemistries are commonly used to conjugate antibodies to pharmaceuticals or nanoparticles. Yet, these conjugation strategies often result in unfavorable outcomes such as heterogen...

Periprosthetic joint infection of a total hip arthroplasty with Candida parapsilosis.

Apr 14, 2020

Fungal periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a disruptive and complex complication of joint arthroplasty. We present a case of a fungal PJI with Candida parapsilosis after a total hip arthroplasty (...

Long noncoding RNA HOST2, working as a competitive endogenous RNA, promotes STAT3-mediated cell proliferation and migration via decoying of let-7b in triple-negative breast cancer.

Apr 07, 2020

Human ovarian cancer specific transcript 2 (HOST2) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) reported to be specifically high expressed in human ovarian cancer. However, the mechanism that how HOST2 regulate...

The Wnt3a/β-catenin/TCF7L2 signaling axis reduces the sensitivity of HER2-positive epithelial ovarian cancer to trastuzumab.

Apr 07, 2020

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is one of the most common and lethal gynecological cancers. Novel therapeutic agents have been developed for EOC, but patient survival remains poor. Trastuzumab has bee...

Cationic Amphiphilic Drugs Boost the Lysosomal Escape of Small Nucleic Acid Therapeutics in a Nanocarrier-Dependent Manner.

Apr 07, 2020

Small nucleic acid (NA) therapeutics, such as small interfering RNA (siRNA), are generally formulated in nanoparticles (NPs) to overcome the multiple extra- and intracellular barriers upon in vivo adm...

Photoactivatable Prodrug-Backboned Polymeric Nanoparticles for Efficient Light-Controlled Gene Delivery and Synergistic Treatment of Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer.

Apr 07, 2020

Combination of chemotherapy and gene therapy provides an effective strategy for cancer treatment. However, lacking of suitable co-delivery systems with efficient endo/lysosomal escape and controllable...

Risk of breast cancer-related death in women with a prior cancer.

Apr 07, 2020

The overall risk of developing a second primary cancer is increasing. The purpose of this study was to analyze the survival of patients with breast cancer diagnosed after a prior cancer and identify r...

Transcriptional factor Yin Yang 1 facilitates the stemness of ovarian cancer via suppressing miR-99a activity through enhancing its deacetylation level.

Mar 23, 2020

The promoting effects of transcriptional factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) have been confirmed in various tumors, however, its roles in ovarian cancer (OC) progression are still unclear. Here, Kaplan-Meier Plot...

A case of primary ovarian signet-ring cell carcinoma treated with S-1/CDDP therapy.

Mar 23, 2020

Primary ovarian signet-ring cell carcinoma is extremely rare, with only five recent case reports. Almost all reported cases of ovarian signet-ring cell carcinoma have been treated with TC therapy and ...

Ovarian cancer stem cells: ready for prime time?

Mar 23, 2020

The role of cancer stem cells (CSC) remains controversial and increasingly subject of investigation as a potential oncogenetic platform with promising therapeutic implications. Understanding the role ...

Human ovarian cancer intrinsic mechanisms regulate lymphocyte activation in response to immune checkpoint blockade.

Mar 23, 2020

Immune checkpoint blocking antibodies are currently being tested in ovarian cancer (OC) patients and have shown some responses in early clinical trials. However, it remains unclear how human OC cancer...

Mechanism of inositol-requiring enzyme 1-alpha inhibition in endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells.

Mar 23, 2020

IRE1α endonuclease is a key regulator of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress that controls cell survival/apoptosis in cancers. Inhibition of IRE1α endonuclease leads to decreased splice XBP1 which dec...
