Additionally, GLN-LPN induced obvious in vivo GPX4 knockdown. These findings demonstrate GLN-LNP as a promising preclinical delivery system for cervical cancer, highlighting their potential to advance the clinical development of siRNA-based therapeutic.

Critically, the use of a PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) demonstrated that the nicotine-induced downregulation of p53 and upregulation of MMP-2, as well as the enhancement of cellular invasion are dependent on PI3K/AKT pathway activation. These findings conclusively demonstrate that nicotine promotes the malignant transformation of HPV-16 positive cervical cancer cells by altering the expressions of MMP-2, p53, Caspase-3, and p21 via the activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway. This highlights the therapeutic potential of targeting this pathway in cervical cancer treatment.

Therapeutically, tailored strategies employing miR-150 mimics, antagomiRs, or ceRNA-targeted inhibitors hold potential for disrupting metastatic pathways; however, challenges such as isoform-specific targeting, precise delivery, and mitigation of off-target effects remain unresolved. In our view, framing miR-150 as a "double-edged sword" in metastatic regulation provides a conceptual framework for leveraging its molecular versatility to advance precision oncology and mitigate metastatic progression, particularly in combination with emerging systemic therapies.

While the current combined vaccination-screening strategy (termed Strategy A) will fail to eliminate HPV, extended strategies that include increased coverage of female vaccination (termed Strategy B) or additionally vaccinating boys (termed Strategy C) could lead to such elimination in Korea. The implementation of boys-only vaccination strategy induces a significant spillover benefit in reducing cervical cancer burden, which exceeds the corresponding spillover benefit achieved by implementing a girls-only vaccination strategy.

No ABC showed AR positivity, while this was observed in rare cells (IRS 1-2) in 30.8%, 16.6%, and 37.5% of TSCs, EPTs, and ABHs, respectively. HoxB13 can be a useful and reliable marker for identification of TSPs, EPTs and ABCs.

Analytical and diagnostic performance of samples collected by the three self-sampling devices resulted in similar quality and HPV detection. Hence the sample quality is not a determinant in the choice of sampling device and focus on other factors such as cost, women's preference or size and weight can take precedence.

Furthermore, harmine was found to have anti-invasive properties. These findings showed potential harmine antiproliferative and antimetastatic activities, indicating its potential for further research in developing natural therapeutic agents.
