Immune cells around hair follicles help control hair growth and could be targets for treating hair disorders.
research Androgen receptor: A promising therapeutic target in breast cancer
The androgen receptor is a promising target for breast cancer treatment, especially in triple-negative cases, but more research is needed for personalized therapies.
research Chemical and green synthesis of nanoparticles and their efficacy on cancer cells
Green-synthesized nanoparticles can effectively target cancer cells, reducing side effects and improving treatment.
research Body image, personality profiles and alexithymia in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
