  • Chemotherapies may induce cell death by elevating levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), but the specific mechanisms and proteins involved are not fully understood.* -
  • Researchers investigated 11 different chemotherapies and discovered both unique and common protein targets, such as ribosomal components, highlighting a potential method through which these drugs affect protein translation.* -
  • The study centered on the protein CHK1, which plays a role in sensing nuclear hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and regulates mitochondrial function, revealing a pathway that can help cancer cells resist platinum-based chemotherapy in ovarian cancers.*

Despite the use of a comprehensive dataset from our institutions, we were unable to propose a valid and highly predictive model.
