Potential target for reversing drug resistance in ovarian cancer identified

A team of Chinese and UK researchers has identified superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) as a potential target for reversing drug resistance in ovarian cancer. By using nanoparticles to deliver siRNA that reduces SOD1 levels, the study showed reduced growth and decreased resistance to cisplatin in female mice.

Of hearts and giants: Moving a cardiac regulatory protein to the right place

International researchers led by Tokyo Medical and Dental University investigated the RSRSP stretch of the regulatory protein RBM20, finding it essential for nuclear localization and splicing regulation. The study suggests that phosphorylation of specific serine residues in this region is crucial for RBM20's function.
