Developing an M3 Antagonist for Molecular Imaging of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors in Breast Cancer
DownloadFall 2021
The lack of the three targeted receptors, estrogen, progesterone, and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, causes difficulty in treating triple negative type cancers. Most often, patients with this type of malignancy have a low chance of survival. The focus of this work will be on...
