Abstract Despite adjuvant treatment with endocrine therapies, estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers recur in a significant proportion of patients. Recurrences are attributable to clinically undetectable endocrine-tolerant persister cancer cells that retain tumor-forming potential. Therefore, strategies targeting such may prevent recurrent disease. Using CRISPR-Cas9 genome-wide knockout screening ER+ cells, we identified survival mechanism involving metabolic reprogramming reliance...

Since a majority of ovarian tumors recur in drug-resistant form leaving patients few treatment options, the goal this study was to explore phenotypic and molecular characteristics cisplatin-resistant cancer cell line (OVCAR8R) as compared its cisplatin-sensitive syngeneic counterpart (OVCAR8) effectiveness novel chemotherapeutic, Withaferin A (WA). In addition unique morphological characteristics, small heat shock proteins (Hsps) αB-Crystallin (HspB5) Hsp27 are constitutively expressed along...
