Green nanotechnology of MGF-AuNPs for immunomodulatory intervention in prostate cancer therapy
Abstract Men with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) face poor prognosis and increased risk of treatment-incurred adverse effects resulting in one of the highest mortalities among patient population globally. Immune cells act as double-edged sword depending on the tumor microenvironment, wh...
