Humanizing Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) emphasizes the micro-level actions of actors. Its essence involves underscoring a practice-oriented approach, opening the ‘black box’ of the subjects of responsibility in RRI, and exploring the duality between structure and agency in the practice...

Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is frequently overexpressed in human breast cancer and has emerged as a potential therapeutic target. Resveratrol has been shown to inhibit FASN activity in vitro through both fast-reversible and slow-irreversible mechanisms. In this study, resveratrol reduced intracellula...
