Abstract:Several features of cancer cells such as proliferation, invasion, metastatic spreading, and drug resistance are affected by their interaction with several tumor microenvironment (TME) components, including neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), solute carrier family 22 member 17 (SLC22A17), and matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9). These molecules play a key role in tumor growth, invasion, and iron-dependent metabolism of cancer cells. However, the precise epigenetic mechanisms underlying the gene regu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
