Maryam Amini, a fourth year English Program medical student and intern physician at the Üsküdar University Faculty of Medicine, contributed as an author of a chapter in the book titled “Mitochondria and Cancer,” published by the internationally respected publishing house Elsevier. Addressing the relationship between mitochondria and cancer comprehensively, from basic sciences to clinical applications, the book focuses on critical topics such as cancer pathogenesis, treatment resistance mechanisms, and disease recurrence, offering a current and multidimensional perspective on the role of mitochondria in cancer biology and treatment.
Released for international sale with its first edition
Edited by Farzad Taghizadeh-Hesary, Sumel Ashique, Babak Behnam, and Maria Vliora, the work titled “Mitochondria and Cancer: From Basic Science to Clinical Applications, Understanding Pathogenesis, Treatment Resistance, and Disease Recurrence” was included in Elsevier’s publication program at the end of last year and was released for international sale in February with its first edition.
The book examines prominent topics in oncology in detail, including the tumor microenvironment, cancer stem cells, microbiota, resistance mechanisms, mitochondrial enhancement strategies, and targeted therapies.
Important scientific data presented in the book
In the chapter authored by intern physician Maryam Amini as the first author, mitochondrial RNAs and their effects on the mitochondria of cancer cells are examined. The chapter presents significant scientific data for both basic science research and future clinical approaches by revealing the role of mitochondrial gene regulation in cancer development and progression.
Üsküdar’s signature in scientific production
Serving as an important reference source for researchers and clinicians working in oncology, this work once again demonstrates Üsküdar University’s commitment to scientific production and highlights the ability of its students to contribute to international academic publications even during their undergraduate education.
