How Vitamin D May Fight Colon Cancer

Vitamin D may interact with the immune system to prevent the growth of colorectal malignancies.

A central role for heme iron in colon carcinogenesis associated with red meat intake

Epidemiology shows that red and processed meat intake is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Heme iron, heterocyclic amines and endogenous N-nitroso compounds (NOC) are proposed to explain this effect, but their relative contributio...

Heme, Unsaturated Aldehydes, and Colon Cancer

Epidemiology shows that red and processed meat intake is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Heme iron, heterocyclic amines, and endogenous N-nitroso compounds (NOC) are proposed to explain this effect, but their relative contribut...

LncRNA HULC Facilitates Abnormal Lipid Metabolism in HCC

HULC is a long noncoding RNA overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its functional contributions in this setting have not been determined. In this study, we explored the hypothesis that HULC contributes to malignant development by suppor...

Long non-coding RNA HULC modulates abnormal lipid metabolism in hepatoma cells through miRNA-9/PPARA/ACSL1/cholesterol/RXRA/HULC signaling

HULC is a long non-coding RNA overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its functional contributions in this setting have not been determined. In this study, we explored the hypothesis that HULC contributes to malignant development by suppor...
