Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery Researchers Describe Recent Advances in Gastric Cancer (b-Elemene promotes ferroptosis and reverses radioresistance in gastric cancer by inhibiting the OTUB1-GPX4 interaction).

Researchers from the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery in Nantong, China, have conducted a study on the effects of b-Elemene on radioresistant gastric cancer cells. The study found that b-Elemene can reverse radioresistance in gastric cancer cells by promoting ferroptosis and inhibiting the OTUB1-GPX4 interaction. This research suggests that b-Elemene could be a potential therapeutic option in combination with radiotherapy for cases of resistant gastric cancer. [Extracted from the article]
