Abstract excerpt
The fallopian tube epithelium (FTE) is the primary tissue of origin for ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), with ovulation implicated as a key risk factor. TP53 mutations, a hallmark of HGSC and its precursor lesions, such as p53 signature, are predominantly CG>TA substitutions attributed to cytidine deamination. We previously demonstrated that ovulatory follicular fluid (FF) released reactive oxygen...
