Potent and selective anticancer activity of half-sandwich ruthenium and osmium complexes with modified curcuminoid ligands

Paul Joseph Dyson, Mouna Hadiji

We have recently reported a series of half-sandwich ruthenium(ii) complexes with curcuminoid ligands showing excellent cytotoxic activities (particularly ionic derivatives containing PTA (PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane). In the present study, new m ...

Personalized cancer vaccine strategy elicits polyfunctional T cells and demonstrates clinical benefits in ovarian cancer

Stéphanie Tissot, Johanna Pauline Chiffelle, George Coukos, Alexandre Harari, Florian Huber

T cells are important for controlling ovarian cancer (OC). We previously demonstrated that combinatorial use of a personalized whole-tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cell vaccine (OCDC), bevacizumab (Bev), and cyclophosphamide (Cy) elicited neoantigen-specifi ...

Assessment of menstrual health status and evolution through mobile apps for fertility awareness

Laura Symul, Marcel Salathé

For most women of reproductive age, assessing menstrual health and fertility typically involves regular visits to a gynecologist or another clinician. While these evaluations provide critical information on an individual's reproductive health status, they ...

A high resolution LC-MS targeted method for the concomitant analysis of 11 contraceptive progestins and 4 steroids

Alexandre Béguin, Cathrin Brisken, Marc Moniatte, Jonathan Paz Montoya, Marie Shamseddin, Csaba Ferenc László, Fabio De Martino

In the context of hormonal contraception and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), many women are exposed to exogenous hormones. Current use of hormonal contraception with combined ethinyl estradiol and different progestins bestows a breast cancer relative ri ...

C/EBP alpha mediates the growth inhibitory effect of progestins on breast cancer cells

Cathrin Brisken, Valentina Scabia

Steroid hormones are key gene regulators in breast cancer cells. While estrogens stimulate cell proliferation, progestins activate a single cell cycle followed by proliferation arrest. Here, we use biochemical and genome-wide approaches to show that proges ...

Progestins used for hormonal contraception in Switzerland: study of their effects on the breast epithelium

Marie Shamseddin

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the most common cause of cancer death among women. Hormones have been shown to have a key role in breast development and carcinogenesis. Repeated activation of progesterone receptor (PR) signaling as ...

Risk prediction of developing venous thrombosis in combined oral contraceptive users

Emmanuelle Logette, Valérie Buchillier

Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complex multifactorial disease influenced by genetic and environmental risk factors. An example for the latter is the regular use of combined oral contraceptives (CC), which increases the risk to develop VTE by ...

Proteome-Wide Effect of 17-beta-Estradiol and Lipoxin A(4) in an Endometriotic Epithelial Cell Line

Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. This chronic, gynecological inflammatory disease results in a decreased quality of life for patients, with the main symptoms including chronic pelvic pain and infertility. The steroid ho ...

Progesterone and Overlooked Endocrine Pathways in Breast Cancer Pathogenesis

Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Cathrin Brisken, Rachel Marcone

Worldwide, breast cancer incidence has been increasing for decades. Exposure to reproductive hormones, as occurs with recurrent menstrual cycles, affects breast cancer risk, and can promote disease progression. Exogenous hormones and endocrine disruptors h ...

The Orphan Nuclear Receptor Nr5a2 Is Essential for Luteinization in the Female Mouse Ovary

Kristina Schoonjans

In the ovary, the follicular granulosa cells express the nuclear receptor Nr5a2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 5 group A member 2), also known as liver receptor homolog-1, and after ovulation, Nr5a2 expression persists in the corpus luteum. Previous studies d ...

VEGFR-3 Neutralization Inhibits Ovarian Lymphangiogenesis, Follicle Maturation, and Murine Pregnancy

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Jong Eun Ihm, Joseph Rutkowski, Miriella Carmela Pasquier, Didier Trono, Seung Tae Lee, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Vivianne Greenwood

Lymphatic vessels surround follicles within the ovary, but their roles in folliculogenesis and pregnancy, as well as the necessity of Lymphangiogenesis in follicle maturation and health, are undefined. We used systemic delivery of mF4-31C1, a specific anta ...
