Molecular Functions and Drug Prediction of MMP1 and TGFBR2 in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
MMP1 and TGFBR2 were validated by machine learning and external datasets as the candidate genes. Dexamethasone showed strong binding affinity to MMP1 (−7.72 kcal/mol) and TGFBR2 (−7.27 kcal/mol) in docking studies. Knockdown of MMP1 repressed the malignant phenotypes of NPC cells.

Smoking effects on root coverage outcomes between 3 and 12 months: A prospective cohort study
Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the impact of smoking on root coverage outcomes, comparing healing responses at 3–12 months following coronally advanced flap with a connective tissue graft (CAF+CTG). Methods This prospective cohort study included 27 participants (13 smokers, 14 non‐smokers) who required root coverage for a single Cairo
