This study evaluates the oncolytic potential of the Moscow strain of reovirus against human metastatic melanoma and glioblastoma cells. The Moscow strain effectively infects and replicates within human melanoma cell lines and primary glioblastoma cells, while sparing non-malignant human cells. Infection leads to the selective destruction of neoplastic cells, mediated by functional viral replication.

Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is a methyltransferase involved in cell cycle regulation, cell differentiation, and cell death and plays a role in modulating the immune response. Although it mainly functions by catalyzing the tri-methylation of H3 histone on K27 (H3K27), to inhibit the transcription of target genes, EZH2 can directly methylate several transcription factors or form complexes with them, regulating their functions. EZH2 expression/activity is often dysregulated in cancer, contributing to carcinogenesis and immune escape, thereby representing an important target in anti-cancer therapy.

Ovarian cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers among women. Due to the frequent problems during treatment, such as relapses or the development of resistance to treatment, new methods of treating this disease are being sought. A special attention is directed towards the combination therapies combining several different anticancer agents.

Paclitaxel is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of breast cancer (BC), including as a front-line treatment for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients. However, resistance to paclitaxel remains one of the major causes of death associated with treatment failure. Multiple studies have demonstrated that miRNAs play a role in paclitaxel resistance and are associated with both disease progression and metastasis.

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, with a poor prognosis primarily due to late diagnosis and limited treatment options. This research highlights the critical demand for advanced prognostic tools by creating a model centered on aging-related genes (ARGs) to improve prediction and treatment strategies for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). By leveraging datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), we developed a prognostic model that integrates 14 ARGs using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) alongside Cox regression analyses.
