Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sarah Z Hanif"
- Sarah Z Hanif's recent research focuses on the role of orphan G protein-coupled receptors and extracellular vesicles in breast cancer, highlighting GPR52's potential as a novel regulator of tumor multicellular organization and overall patient survival.
- A significant aspect of her studies involves the impact of obesity on breast cancer progression, revealing that extracellular vesicles from adipose tissue of obese women can alter tumor cell metabolism and enhance proliferation.
- In addition to her cancer research, Hanif has investigated mechanosensory pathways in bladder smooth muscle, demonstrating that the deletion of β1-integrin leads to dysfunction and remodeling, which could provide insights into lower urinary tract diseases.
