research Selenium or No Selenium- That Is the Question in Tumor Patients: A New Controversy
There is no clear recommendation for using selenium in cancer patients; it may be beneficial to correct low selenium levels before treatment.
research Male sex hormones, aging, and inflammation
Adequate testosterone is crucial for men's health and quality of life, but its decline with age needs more research.
research Delivery of Tissue-Targeted Scalpels: Opportunities and Challenges for In Vivo CRISPR/Cas-Based Genome Editing
Using CRISPR for gene editing in the body is promising but needs better delivery methods to be more efficient and specific.
research Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and PPAR agonists: the ‘future’ in dermatology therapeutics?
PPAR agonists show promise for skin conditions but need more research before being a main treatment.
