Ovarian cancer remains a significant challenge due to the lack of effective treatment and the resistance to conventional therapies. Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death characterized by iron-depend and lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Ovarian cancer has been reported to exert an "iron addiction" phenotype which makes it is susceptible to ferroptosis inducers.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOvarian cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the ovary, characterized by its high mortality rate and propensity for recurrence. In some patients, especially those with recurrent cancer, conventional treatments such as surgical resection or standard chemotherapy yield suboptimal results. Consequently, there is an urgent need for novel anti-cancer therapeutic strategies.

However, there is still a lack of systematic investigation into their molecular characteristics and clinical relevance in different cancer types. Single-cell RNA sequencing data from three different tumor types were used to cluster and type macrophages.

Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has emerged as a promising tool to cure and prevent many diseases. However, the effect of PBMT on skeletal muscle atrophy during cancer progression has not been fully demonstrated yet.
