The Metastasis Research Laboratory (O. Peulen and A. Bellahcène) provides new insight into the importance of myoferlin in pancreatic cancer. Its pharmacological targeting sensitizes PDAC cells to ferroptosis.
This study, published by Stéphanie Herkenne (Laboratory of Molecular Angiogenesis) suggests that OPA1 could be a new therapeutic target for breast cancers, especially triple-negative cancers.
Michael Herfs' team (Laboratory for Experimental Pathology, GIGA-Cancer) demonstrates that, by drastically inhibiting innate immunity, human papillomaviruses (HPV) promote the development of bacterial vaginosis.
