Unveiling the impacts of metformin on hepatocellular carcinoma: A bioinformatic exploration in cell lines.

The most common type of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), accounting for 75-85% of cases. Despite its associated side effects, sorafenib remains the standard treatment for HCC. Given the critical need to improve therapeutic efficacy while minimizing adverse effects, alternative drugs must be thoroughly investigated.

Integrated genomic network analysis revealed potential of a druggable target for hemorrhoid treatment.

Hemorrhoids are a prevalent medical condition that necessitates effective treatment options. The current options for treatment consist of oral medications, topical applications, or surgery, yet a scarcity of highly effective drugs still exists. Genetic markers provide promising avenues for investigating the treatment of hemorrhoids, as they may reveal intricate biological mechanisms and targeted drug therapies, ultimately enhancing more precise treatment tailored to the patient.
