Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi), such as olaparib, have significantly improved outcomes in ovarian cancer (OC); however, therapy resistance remains a major clinical challenge. Here, we showed that glutamine metabolism was upregulated in PARPi-resistant OC cells and identified the g...
Ovarian cancer (OC) causes high mortality in women because of ineffective biomarkers for early diagnosis. Here, we perform metabolomics analysis on an initial training set of uterine fluid from 96 gynecological patients. A seven-metabolite-marker panel consisting of vanillylmandelic acid, norepin...
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a disease featured by early menopause before 40 years of age, accompanied by an elevation of follicle-stimulating hormone. Though POI affects many aspects of women's health, its major causes remain unknown. Many clinical studies have shown that POI patient...
BRCA1 mutations are a hallmark of hereditary ovarian cancer, strongly linked to deficiencies in homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair and impaired DNA replication fork protection. However, its roles in cancer progression beyond maintaining genomic integrity remain poorly understood. Through me...
Adoptive T cell receptor (TCR)–based immunotherapy offers a powerful strategy to target solid tumors. However, the physical properties of the antigen-presenting interface regulate T cell metabolic programming remains poorly defined. Here we develop synthetic viscoelastic activating cells (SynVAC)...
