Emerging strategies to overcome PARP inhibitors' resistance in ovarian cancer.

The utilization of PARP inhibitors (PARPis) has significantly improved the prognosis for ovarian cancer patients. However, as the use of PARPis increases, the issue of PARPi resistance has become more prominent. Prolonged usage of PARPis can lead to the development of resistance in ovarian cancer, often mediated by mechanisms such as homologous recombination (HR) recovery, ultimately resulting in cancer relapse.

Degradation strategies of pesticide residue: From chemicals to synthetic biology.

The past 50 years have witnessed a massive expansion in the demand and application of pesticides. However, pesticides are difficult to be completely degraded without intervention hence the pesticide residue could pose a persistent threat to non-target organisms in many aspects. To aim at the problem of the abuse of pesticide products and excessive pesticide residues in the environment, chemical and biological degradation methods are widely developed but are scaled and insufficient to solve such a pollution.
