Assessing the Association Between Genetic Variants in ACE, SOD1, and PER3 and their Role in Breast Cancer Risk among Jordanian Women

Background: Genetic and environmental factors regulate many physiological processes in the human body, and alterations in these processes may contribute to the development of various diseases, including breast cancer (BC), which is considered the most prevalent cancer among women and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the Jordanian population. Genes such as ACE, SOD1 and PER3 play important roles in regulating essential biological functions. ...

Emerging Oncolytic Viruses: Beyond Adenoviruses and Herpes Simplex Virus

Oncolytic virotherapy represents an innovative therapeutic modality in oncology, exploiting the selective tropism of viruses to target and eradicate malignant cells. Unlike conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, oncolytic viruses (OVs) exhibit a dual mechanism of action: direct tumor cell lysis and potent immune activation. This approach transforms tumors into in situ vaccines, generating durable anti-tumor immune memory. ...
