Our latest work explores the dynamic interplay between ER and HER2 in breast cancer, revealing how treatment drives receptor discordance and impacts clinical outcomes. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cac2.1264017 Dec 2024 15:32 +0000at://did:plc:w6mo74v5sa4d7b7lbynjb7cj/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldj62o67qk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/damirvareslija.bsky.social/post/3ld4rjoxpsk2rSuper interesting study. Glucocorticoids promote glioblastoma growth in a time-of-day-dependent manner. Disrupting daily glucocorticoid signaling reduces GBM growth and progression.
