FAK inhibitors are in combinatorial clinical testing with agents that prevent Ras-Raf-MAPK pathway activation in various cancers. This study suggests that nuclear FAK limits ERK/MAPK activation in supporting HGSOC cell survival to cisplatin stress. Overall, it is likely that targets of FAK-mediated survival signaling may be tumor type- and context-dependent.

Article Synopsis
  • Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a lifesaving IV feeding method but can cause serious side effects like gut microbial changes and liver injury.
  • A study involving 31 piglets tested the effects of transferring fecal microbiota from healthy pigs to those on TPN, with various groups including a control, TPN alone, TPN with antibiotics, and TPN with fecal transplant.
  • The results showed that fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) helped prevent gut atrophy, liver injury, and harmful microbial changes seen in TPN, suggesting that gut microbes could be critical for developing new treatments.
