Aulosirazole Stimulates FOXO3a Nuclear Translocation to Regulate Apoptosis and Cell-Cycle Progression in High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (HGSOC) Cells
Ovarian cancer, the fifth leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women, is the most lethal gynecological malignancy globally. Within various ovarian cancer subtypes, high-grade serous ovarian cancer is the most prevalent and there is frequent emergence of chemoresistance.
