Ovarian cancer (OC) ranks first among gynecologic malignancies in terms of mortality. The benefits of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors appear to be limited to OC with BRCA mutations. Concurrent administration of WEE1 inhibitors (eg, adavosertib (Ada)) and PARP inhibitors (eg, olaparib (Ola)) effectively suppress ovarian tumor growth ...

Transcriptionally distinct malignant neuroblastoma populations show selective response to adavosertib treatment. [PDF]
Neuroblastoma is an aggressive childhood cancer that arises from the sympathetic nervous system. Despite advances in treatment, high-risk neuroblastoma remains difficult to manage due to its heterogeneous nature and frequent development of drug resistance. Drug repurposing guided by single-cell analysis presents a promising strategy for identifying new

TP53 mutation is one of the most frequent gene mutations in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and could be a potential therapeutic target. Recently, the WEE1 G2 checkpoint kinase (WEE1) inhibitor adavosertib (Adv) has attracted attention because of its selective cytotoxicity against TP53‑mutated cells and has shown promising activity in ...

The role of Wee1 and Myt1 in breast cancer [PDF]
To ensure faithful cell division, entry into mitosis must be inhibited in cells with damage or under-replicated DNA. Wee1 and Myt1 are two partially redundant kinases that inhibit mitotic entry through the phosphorylation of the Cdk1/cyclin B complex ...
