GADD45A and ovarian cancer: This study provides the first mechanism through which CRM197 significantly reverses resistance against paclitaxel by modulating the NAC‐1/Gadd45gip1/Gadd45 pathway in paclitaxel‐resistant ovarian cancer cells, and the mechanism of HB‐EGF inhibition as a novel therapeutic strategy for patients with paclitaxel‐resistant ovarian cancer.
