    • Study of ferroptosis transmission by small extracellular vesicles in epithelial ovarian cancer cells 

      Alarcón-Veleiro, Carmen; Mato-Basalo, Rocío; Lucio-Gallego, Sergio; Vidal-Pampín, Andrea; Quindós-Varela, María; Al-Qatarneh, Thamer; Berrecoso, Germán; Vizoso-Vázquez, Ángel; Arufe, M.C.; Fafián Labora, Juan Antonio (MDPI, 2023-01-12)
      [Abstract] Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecological cancer. The current treatment for EOC involves surgical debulking of the tumors followed by a combination of chemotherapy. While most patients ...
    • Thanksgiving to Yeast, the HMGB Proteins History from Yeast to Cancer [Review] 

      Lamas, Mónica; Vizoso-Vázquez, Ángel; Barreiro-Alonso, Aida; Cámara-Quílez, M.; Cerdán, María Esperanza (MDPI, 2023-04-11)
      [Abstract] Yeasts have been a part of human life since ancient times in the fermentation of many natural products used for food. In addition, in the 20th century, they became powerful tools to elucidate the functions of ...
    • The Challenges and Opportunities of lncRNAs in Ovarian Cancer Research and Clinical Use 

      Salamini-Montemurri, Martín; Lamas, Mónica; Barreiro-Alonso, Aida; Vizoso-Vázquez, Ángel; Rodríguez-Belmonte, Esther; Quindós-Varela, María; Cerdán, María Esperanza (MDPI, 2020-04-21)
      [Abstract] Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies worldwide because it tends to be detected late, when the disease has already spread, and prognosis is poor. In this review we aim to highlight ...
