Deskripsi

Machino et al discover that low expression of microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 3 (MARK3) correlates with poor prognosis in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) patients. They find that the LKB1-MARK3 axis is activated by metabolic stress to block the cell cycle at the G2/M checkpoint, and characterise other MARK3 regulated pathways through RNA and ATAC sequencing.
