In parallel, CRIP1 depletion was accompanied by changes in damage-associated and immune-related cell-death readouts under taxane stress, suggesting a potential role in linking drug tolerance to immune-relevant cell-death programs.<h4>Conclusion</h4>These findings identify CRIP1 as a functionally validated, pharmacologically relevant mediator of docetaxel resistance in prostate cancer. Here, CRIP1 is linked to prostate cancer.
