Evaluation of Breast Cancer Stem Cells and Intratumor Stemness Heterogeneity in Triple-negative Breast Cancer as Prognostic Factors.

abstract：:Mitochondrial dysfunction is an important contributor to the development of osteoarthritis (OA). Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) regulates diverse mitochondrial proteins to maintain mitochondrial homeostasis, and dihydromyricetin (DHM) is reported as a potential SIRT3 activator. This study aims to explore the relevance of SIRT3 and...
