LOXL1 promotes gastric cancer progression by β-catenin-cyclinD mediated proliferation.

Although much progress has been made in chemotherapy or target therapy for advanced gastric cancer, the prognosis is still poor. It is necessary to screen biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis prediction. However, the prognostic value of LOX family in gastric cancer and the underlying molecular mechanisms for promoting the progression of gastric cancer remains unclear.

Selenium Deficiency Leads to Reduced Skeletal Muscle Cell Differentiation by Oxidative Stress in Mice.

Selenium (Se) is one of the essential trace elements in animal organisms with good antioxidant and immune-enhancing abilities. In this study, we investigated the effect and mechanism of Se deficiency on skeletal muscle cell differentiation. A selenium-deficient skeletal muscle model was established.
