Dysregulation of this pathway has been associated with several different cancer types including colon, liver, uterine, lung and ovarian cancer, among others. This dual mode of action induces a systemic, tumor-specific immune response.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For more information, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=pdylF0PgrdTjAFhD7hMn9H8WxF8-dRpYtgnqAmGIx5S8_AdOTq83LhiyIOvBN_3ZkALlO8Mh8DUycMvPmiF-PpxjzOVQ4IVOv-Ntri5FTzQ=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"www.cytovation.com\">www.cytovation.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><b>Contact Information\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><b>Cytovation\u00a0<\/b><br \/>Federico Grego, Chief Operating Officer\/Chief Financial Officer:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=9ag4BMiLqGFgvrwZspL5QHQgj7c7Y4P7L7ErtTUQq2vWtxmEPsR7BN7L5D-IQMaCm2W8N2NsnQONbYh0q3owYU62pIZ0KLFEHA0uShrgT2k=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"contact@cytovation.com\u00a0\">contact@cytovation.com\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><b>MEDiSTRAVA<\/b><br \/>Frazer Hall \/ Mark Swallow:<u>\u00a0<\/u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=7OLR7RtZCQ-eEcAhJvyDHnf22isCR3D7aq0bszhG9dbNPS7jip42rkow6_rhTEQ1T5U6t5F6Jb6Zae-8lAoMw1aAFypu0hdAvNGVIgdMRme_R2KeQ9ncfganEjpSAkKQ\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"cytovation@medistrava.com\u00a0\">cytovation@medistrava.com\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/ml-eu.globenewswire.com\/media\/YzlhZGM4ZWYtMmM0Yi00NTA5LTk0OWEtMDI5MDUxODVkY2E0LTcwMDAxMzY5MA==\/tiny\/Cytovation.png\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"\/>\n            <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brings over 30 years of life sciences industry experience Co-led the McKinsey Global Life Sciences practice Bergen, Norway, February 12, 2025 \u2013 Cytovation ASA, a clinical stage oncology company focused on the development of its first-in-class bifunctional peptide CY-101, announces the appointment of Mr. Martin Dewhurst to its Board of Directors.
