Background Prostate cancer ranks as the most diagnosed oncological disease in Slovak men and the third most common cause of their cancer related mortality. G-protein coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) is estrogen receptor mediating fast non-genomic estrogen signaling and shown potential as therapeutic target for later stages of the disease and in chemoprevention. However, little is currently known about the impact of genetic...

The cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R), primarily expressed in microglia, the brain’s resident immune cells, acts as a central regulator of neuroinflammatory responses. When CB2R is activated, it triggers anti-inflammatory signaling, making it a promising target for modulating microglial function in neuroinflammatory diseases. The ketone body, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), is gaining attention as a therapeutic agent for neurodegene...
