Doxorubicin, the anticancer drug is used for the treatment of several types of cancer. In many cases the clinical use of Dox is being held back because of its cardiotoxicity. Here the protective role of the AR pathway in the heart is being tested. This group is showing how activation of AR can counteract the damaging effect of Dox.
The nice thing about this is how we keep thinking of AR specifically in prostate cancer and as a drug target that we want to decrease its activation, and here we get an example of the positive role of AR and how targeting its activation in different types of tissues and different types of cancers can do good.
