September 2022 " Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and requires more prognostic The clinical significance of GPR39 in colon cancer has never been reported. Materials: In our study, we compared GPR39 expression between colon cancers and tumor-adjacent tissues by retrieving TCGA data and detected the expression of GPR39 in colon cancers with qPCR and immunohistochemistry

September 2022 Exploiting Dependence of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer on the Arginine Vasopressin Signaling Axis by Repurposing Vaptans "Men with advanced prostate cancer are treated by androgen deprivation therapy but the disease recurs as incurable castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), requiring new Interrogation of prostate cancer patient sample data revealed that coexpression of AVPR1A and AVPR2 is

GPCR News < GPCRs in Oncology and Immunology From odor to oncology: non-canonical odorant receptors in cancer types, suggesting their contributions to cancer progression. The roles of these non-canonical chemoreceptors in cancer are complex, with some receptors promoting tumorigenesis and others acting as tumor-suppressing factors upon activation, depending on the cancer biology.
