Researchers Discover a Novel Molecular Mechanism that Regulates Endogenous dsRNA Homeostasis
2025/04/14
Double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) adopt an A-form duplex structure, characterized by narrow major grooves and wide minor grooves. These molecules are often generated during virus infections and activate innate immune response in host cells. Under specific pathological conditions, cells may overproduce endogenous dsRNA, triggering cellular stress responses. The recognition and response to dsRNA play pivotal ...

SPST Faculty Develop Novel Ferroptotis-Targeting Ovarian Cancer Therapy
2024/10/08
Ferroptosis has been recognized as a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer due to its unique mechanism of action. However, the upregulation of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) in ovarian cancer leads to resistance to ferroptotic therapy. Zinc ion (Zn2+) serves as the cofactor of SCD1. It was hypothesized that selective deprivation of Zn2+ from SCD1 could sensitize ferroptotic ovarian cancer therapy....
