The perfect molecule for hormonal contraception: Estetrol benefits. A review by Elena A. Gorbunova, Inna A. Apolikhina

“…The data analyzed suggest that E4 may reduce the risk of breast cancer, as it induces less breast cell proliferation compared to other estrogens. During E4 therapy, the risk of venous thromboembolism is minimized, and there is less impact on hepatic enzymes, which improves the quality of sexual life and opens up the opportunities of prescribing COCs with E4 to women who are continuously receiving other drugs – statins, antiretroviral agents, or anticonvulsants. …”

The Effect of Pyrroloquinoline Quinone on the Expression of WISP1 in Traumatic Brain Injury by Yongqi Ye, Pengju Zhang, Yuhang Qian, Baoxin Yin, Meijuan Yan

“…WISP1, as a member of the CCN4 protein family, has cell protective effects of promoting cell proliferation and inhibiting cell apoptosis. Although some studies have confirmed that WISP1 is concerned with colon cancer and lung cancer, there is little report about the influence of WISP1 in traumatic brain injury. …”
