Abstract Earlier age at menarche has long been known to be associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer (OC). However, the underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. Here, we report a paternally inherited imprinted gene, MKRN3, that is associated with central precocious puberty (CPP) and that plays a tumor suppressive role in OC. We found that genomic MKRN3 mutations are significantly more common in OC patients.

Stable gold graphitic nanocapsules doped hydrogel for efficient photothermal antibacterial applications Herein, we fabricated a gold nanorod graphitic nanocapsules (AuNR@G) doped poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/chitosan (CS) hydrogel, which possessed highly efficient and stable photothermal antibacterial properties for both gram-negative E. coli and gram-positive S. aureus under the irradiation of near-infrared laser.
