THEM6 modulates carboplatin sensitivity by regulating ferroptosis through FDFT1 in triple-negative breast cancer [PDF]
Background Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype with poor prognosis, as chemotherapy resistance leads to relapse in many patients. Carboplatin addition improves treatment response, but challenges persist.

Valproic acid induces ferroptosis and suppresses the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells by targeting FDFT1 [PDF]
IntroductionValproic acid (VPA) constitutes a branched-chain, short-chain fatty acid that serves as an antiepileptic medication. It has been increasingly recognized that VPA has presented potential anti-tumor properties, including breast cancer. However,
