Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Shinako Araki"
Shinako Araki's research focuses on the mechanisms underlying cancer progression and treatment, particularly in prostate and breast cancers, investigating the roles of various proteins and molecular pathways involved in tumor growth and metastasis.
One of Araki's key findings highlights the anticancer effects of the Andean herbal product BIRM, which destabilizes the androgen receptor and induces apoptosis in prostate cancer cells.
Additionally, Araki's work on the regulation of nuclear clusterin (nCLU) and its dichotomous role as a pro-survival and pro-death factor sheds light on potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of aggressive metastatic cancers.
