Colorectal cancer development involves both genetic changes and epigenetic alterations like DNA methylation and microRNA changes.
research Protein Degradation: Expanding the Toolbox to Restrain Cancer Drug Resistance
Using protein degradation to fight cancer drug resistance shows promise but needs more precise targeting and fewer side effects.
research Functional Enhancers as Master Regulators of Tissue-Specific Gene Regulation and Cancer Development
Enhancers and super-enhancers are key in controlling specific gene activity and can play a role in cancer development.
research Intracrine Androgen Biosynthesis, Metabolism, and Action Revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel Androst-3,5-Diene-3-Carboxylic Acid Derivatives as Inhibitors of 5α-Reductase Type 1 and 2

research Table 1
Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might reduce it. AST decreases recurrence-free survival but doesn't affect overall survival or progression-free survival. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits.
research Table 2
Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might decrease the risk. AST also lessens the chance of cancer coming back but doesn't really affect survival rates. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits for different bladder cancers.
research Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling: Function, Biological Mechanisms, and Therapeutic Opportunities
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is important for body functions and diseases, and targeting it may treat conditions like cancer, but with safety challenges.
research Targeting Integrin Pathways: Mechanisms and Advances in Therapy
New therapies are being developed that target integrin pathways to treat various diseases.
research Basics of Androgen Synthesis and Action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Are Sex Discordant Outcomes in COVID-19 Related to Sex Hormones?
Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity, with men often faring worse, and targeting related pathways could offer treatment options.
research Androgenic Effects on Ventricular Repolarization
ADT, especially enzalutamide, may increase the risk of heart rhythm problems and sudden death in men.
research The Antiandrogen Enzalutamide Downregulates TMPRSS2 and Reduces Cellular Entry of SARS-CoV-2 in Human Lung Cells
The drug enzalutamide may reduce the ability of the virus causing COVID-19 to enter lung cells.
research Monoclonal Antibody Against Prolactin Receptor: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Repeated Subcutaneous Administrations in Postmenopausal Women
