Many cancer patients who initially respond to chemotherapy eventually develop chemoresistance, and to address this,
we previously conducted a RNAi screen to identify genes contributing to resistance. One of the hits from the screen was branchedcha... Read More about Inhibition of branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase kinase augments the sensitivity of ovarian and breast cancer cells to paclitaxel.

Identification of foods that affect the anti-cancer activity of pitavastatin in cells (2022)
Journal Article
Jawad, M., Ibrahim, S., Kumar, M., Burgert, C., Li, W., & Richardson, A. (2022). Identification of foods that affect the anti-cancer activity of pitavastatin in cells. Oncology Letters, https://doi.org/10.3892/ol.2022.13193

Statins inhibit the synthesis of mevalonate, a precursor isoprenoid molecule to geranylgeraniol that is necessary for the post-translational modification of several small GTPase oncogenes. Despite numerous preclinical studies suggesting that statins... Read More about Identification of foods that affect the anti-cancer activity of pitavastatin in cells.
