Application


  • Enhancing glioblastoma treatment: Overexpression of Let-7a-3p in U87MG glioblastoma cells enhances chemosensitivity to Carmustine, promoting autophagy and suppressing cell survival, suggesting its role in improving outcomes in glioblastoma multiforme treatment using antineoplastic alkylating compounds (Bahojb Mahdavi et al., 2024).

  • Pharmacogenomic profiling in renal cancer: Characterization of mitoribosomal small subunit genes in renal cell carcinoma reveals significant implications for Carmustine′s pharmacogenomic interaction, enhancing understanding of its mechanism in cancer therapy and providing a basis for personalized treatment approaches (Wei et al., 2024).
