The Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor’s Association with the Outcome of Ovarian Cancer Patients and Its Experimental Inhibition by Rupatadine

Cells, 2021
The platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR) and its ligand (PAF) are important inflammatory mediators that are overexpressed in ovarian cancer. The receptor is an important player in ovarian cancer development.
