Epidemiological findings show that lifestyle factors such as contraceptive use and pregnancy, a progesterone dominant state, decrease the risk of getting OC. How ovarian hormones modify the risk of OC is currently unclear. Our study identifies activated Wnt signalling to be a marker for precursor lesions of OC and successfully develops a mouse model that mimics the earliest events in pathogenesis of OC by constitutively activating ßcatenin. Using this model and human OC cells, we show that oestrogen promotes and progesterone suppresses the growth of OC cells.]]> Wed 09 Feb 2022 15:54:46 AEDT ]]> Diverticulosis, symptoms and colonic inflammation: a population-based colonoscopy study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47794 Tue 31 Jan 2023 15:19:00 AEDT ]]>
