The role of cytokines in ovarian cancer drug resistance. [PDF]
Abstract Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death among women diagnosed with female reproductive system cancers. While significant advances have been made in treating various types of cancer, progress in ovarian cancer treatment over the past 20 years has been minimal, and the treatment course of ovarian cancer is not linear. Although many patients

New insights in cellular senescence: The pituitary model. [PDF]
Senescence is a pivotal process in pituitary tumorigenesis. Recent advances have elucidated the complex mechanisms by which key factors, including IL‐6, establish and maintain senescence in these tumors. Given the critical role of senescence and the development of novel techniques to detect senescent cells, the identification of biomarkers and the ...

Precise mapping of the CD95 pre-ligand assembly domain. [PDF]
International audiencePre-association of CD95 at the plasma membrane is mandatory for efficient death receptor signaling. This homotrimerization occurs through self-association of an extracellular domain called the pre-ligand assembly domain (PLAD ...
