Aging increases ovarian cancer growth, metastasis, and immunosuppression that can be alleviated by inhibiting hedgehog signaling

Asha Kumari, Mohamed Halaby Elbahoty, Resha Rajkarnikar…·Karthikeyan Mythreye

This study shows aging promotes ovarian cancer growth and immunosuppression, which can be mitigated by inhibiting Hedgehog signaling in mice and correlates with immune checkpoint resistance in humans.

ACTL6A regulates the Warburg effect through coordinated activation of AP-1 signaling in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Mehri Monavarian, Keene Lee, Alistaire Rugerio Sherman…·Andrey Finegersh

This study identifies ACTL6A as a regulator of hypoxic adaptation and metabolic plasticity in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma by modulating AP-1 signaling and chromatin structure.
