Ovarian cancer (OC) is the 3rd common gynecologic cancer. Numerous procedures are involved in the growth of OC, like migration, angiogenesis, proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and metastasis. Therefore, a better knowledge of the molecular processes complicated in ovarian tumorigenesis can lead to better measures for the prevention and treatment of the disease and its diagnosis. Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs), a subclass of non-coding RNAs, are much more diverse than previously thought. It is suggested that these RNAs may play a role in controlling complex cellular signaling mechanisms via binding to proteins and influencing their function. Nevertheless, our acquaintance with the participation of LncRNAs in the pathogenesis of OC is still restricted. Especially, we do not yet recognize how to pharmacologically correct the epi-mutations. Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol mostly derived from grapes, has been evaluated in many studies to find its cancer therapeutic potential. In the current paper, we aimed to review the role of resveratrol as a potential natural product on lncRNAs as novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets in OC and represent new insights for further investigations.

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) protects the ovarian reserve from chemotherapy, and this effect is most pronounced with Doxorubicin (DOX). However, DOX toxicity and AMH rescue mechanisms in the ovary have remained unclear. Herein, we characterize the consequences of these treatments in ovarian cell types using scRNAseq.

Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptors regulate stem cell activity and tissue homeostasis within female reproductive organs, primarily through their interaction with the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. LGR4-6 are increasingly recognized for their roles in organ development, regeneration, and cancer. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the roles of LGR4-6 in female reproductive organs, highlighting their significance in normal physiology and disease states, specifically in the context of ovarian cancer.

Up to 90% of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) patients will develop resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy, posing substantial therapeutic challenges due to a lack of universally druggable targets. Leveraging BenevolentAI's AI-driven approach to target discovery, we screened potential AI-predicted therapeutic targets mapped to unapproved tool compounds in patient-derived 3D models. This identified TNIK, which is modulated by NCB-0846, as a novel target for platinum-resistant HGSC.

Background: High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) accounts for 70-80% of all ovarian cancer-related deaths. Multiple studies have suggested that the fallopian tube epithelium (FTE) serves as the cell of origin of HGSOC. Phosphatase and tensin homolog () is a tumor suppressor and its loss is sufficient to induce numerous tumorigenic changes in FTE, including increased migration, formation of multicellular tumor spheroids (MTSs), and ovarian colonization.

Background: Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death among gynaecological cancers. The identification of the fallopian tube epithelium as the origin of most ovarian cancers introduces a novel prevention strategy by removing the fallopian tubes during an already indicated abdominal surgery for another reason, also known as an opportunistic salpingectomy. This preventive opportunity is evidence based, recommended and established at the time of gynaecologic surgery in many countries worldwide.
