Scavenger receptors (SRs) are a 'superfamily'of membrane-bound receptors that were
initially thought to bind and internalize modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL), though it is …

Iron is vital for almost all organisms because of its ability to donate and accept electrons with
relative ease. It serves as a cofactor for many proteins and enzymes necessary for oxygen …

Scavenger receptors constitute a large family of proteins that are structurally diverse and
participate in a wide range of biological functions. These receptors are expressed …

Long noncoding RNAs can serve as oncogenes or tumor suppressors in human cancer;
however, their biological functions and underlying mechanism in hepatocarcinogenesis are …

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, and adenocarcinoma is its
most common histological subtype. Clinical and molecular evidence indicates that lung …

The iron storage protein ferritin has been continuously studied for over 70 years and its
function as the primary iron storage protein in cells is well established. Although the …

Introduction Increasing evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in
the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. The aim of the study was to investigate the …

The scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) superfamily of soluble or membrane-bound
protein receptors is characterized by the presence of one or several repeats of an ancient …

The overall survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains poor, and the
molecular pathogenesis remains incompletely defined in HCC. Here we report that …

The large chromosomal deletions frequently observed in cancer genomes are often thought
to arise as a “two-hit” mechanism in the process of tumor-suppressor gene (TSG) …
