The explosion in genome editing technologies that has occurred in the past decade has revolutionized cancer research and promises to improve cancer diagnosis and therapy. Ongoing efforts include engineering of chimeric antigen receptor-T cells using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) to generate a safer, more effective therapy with improved performance in immunologically "cold" tumors, as well as clever adaptations of CRISPR enzymes to allow fast, simple, and sensitive detection of specific nucleotide sequences. While still in their infancy, CRISPR-based cancer therapeutics and diagnostics are developing at an impressive speed and it is likely they will soon impact clinical practice. Here, we summarize their history and the most recent developments.

Ovarian cancer (OC) remains one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies, largely due to its late-stage diagnosis and high recurrence rates. Chronic inflammation is a critical driver of OC progression, contributing to immune evasion, tumor growth, and metastasis. Inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-8, as well as key signaling pathways such as nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), are upregulated in OC, promoting a tumor-promoting environment.

Background: The Arp2/3 complex is a key regulator of tumor metastasis, and targeting its subunits offers potential for anti-metastatic therapy. However, the expression profiles, prognostic relevance, and diagnostic value of its subunits across cancers remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the clinical relevance of Arp2/3 complex subunits, particularly ARPC1A, in pan-cancer, and to further analyze the potential biological mechanisms of ARPC1A, as well as its association with immune infiltration and chemotherapy drug sensitivity.
