Background: Previous studies have shown that physical appearance perfectionism could play an important role in social physique anxiety; however, the moderating role of body compassion has not been studied. The current study aims to explore the moderating role of body compassion in the relationship between physical appearance perfectionism and social physique anxiety in undergraduate students.
Methods: A sample of 418 undergraduates (n = 418; 217 female and 201 males) from three universities in Tehran, Iran completed online questionnaires measuring physical appearance perfectionism, body compassion and social physique anxiety.
Article Synopsis
- Melanoma is a highly aggressive skin cancer that is more treatable when caught early, but survival rates drop significantly once it advances to metastatic stages.
- Immunotherapy has shown potential by boosting anti-tumor responses, but clinical results have been mixed, partly due to the influence of regulatory T (Treg) cells that help tumors evade immune attacks.
- This review aims to analyze how Treg cells contribute to melanoma progression and explore strategies to effectively target these cells to improve treatment outcomes.
In women, breast cancer (BC) is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a subgroup of heterogeneous non-hematopoietic fibroblast-like cells that have the ability to differentiate into multiple cell types. Recent studies stated that MSCs can migrate into the tumor sites and exert various effect on tumor growth and development.

Numerous antibiotics have been used to inhibit the growth and kill of microbes, but the development of resistance and the emergence of side effects have severely limited the use of these agents.

- Research shows miRNA-128 (miR-128) plays a crucial role in the initiation and development of various cancers, impacting immune responses.
- There is potential for miR-128 to be used as a biomarker and a focus for new anticancer treatments due to its abnormal expression in tumors.
- The review explores miR-128's role in multiple cancers and discusses its influence on resistance to treatments and immunotherapy through exosomes.
