A Systematic Pan-Cancer Analysis of CASP3 as a Potential Target for Immunotherapy
CASP3 is the gene encoding caspase-3, a specific protease that cleaves substrates such as poly-ADP ribose polymerase and acetyl-DEVD-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin. This enzymatic activity leads to DNA fragmentation, which is a hallmark of apoptosis.

Endocrine Disruptors and Prostate Cancer
The role of endocrine disruptors (EDs) in the human prostate gland is an overlooked issue even though the prostate is essential for male fertility. From experimental models, it is known that EDs can influence several molecular mechanisms involved in ...

To what extent does photoperiod affect cattle reproduction? Clinical perspectives of melatonin administration [PDF]
The seasonality of reproduction in most mammals is dictated by photoperiod, temperature and nutrition. Melatonin, mainly synthesized in the pineal gland, is generally accepted as the active mediator of photoperiod responses including reproduction.

PSMA PET/CT as a predictive tool for sub-regional importance estimates in the parotid gland [PDF]
Xerostomia and radiation-induced salivary gland dysfunction remain a common side effect for head-and-neck radiotherapy patients, and attempts have been made to quantify the heterogeneous dose response within parotid glands. Here several models of parotid gland subregional importance are compared with prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron ...
