Therapeutic effects of STAT3 inhibition by nifuroxazide on murine acute graft graft-vs.-host disease: Old drug, new use.

abstract：:G-protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) has been reported to act as a membrane-bound estrogen receptor that is involved in the mediation of non-genomic estradiol signalling. In this study, we demonstrated that male, but not female, GPR30-deficient mice suffer from impaired left‑ventricular cardiac function. Left ventric...
