ANDROGEN RECEPTOR REGULATION BY SMALL MOLECULE ENANTIOMERS
A class of chiral compounds has been discovered that can have opposite effects on the androgen receptor (AR). The (R)-enantiomers act like traditional anti-androgens, while the (S)-enantiomers activate AR signaling. In prostate cancer that is resistant to castration, the change to growth in the presence of AR-targeted drugs is often linked to mutations in the AR-ligand binding domain. This discovery shows that the compounds can switch between being antagonists and agonists based solely on their structural enantiomerism without changing the AR binding site. Understanding this phenomenon is crucial for developing new treatments for prostate cancer.

Foldable touch screen display devices have a flexible display unit that can change from a small size to a larger size, with a modular rigid display that can be added. When folded, the device is compact like a handheld phone, and when unfolded, it becomes larger like a tablet. There is also a state where both displays are used together by folding out the rigid display to align with the flexible display. Integrated speaker and microphone are included in all folded states. A module within the display contains processing power, memory, and communication systems that can be used in any state.
