The immunomodulatory role of the MAFB gene in hepatocellular carcinoma and its impact on biological activities.

Objective: The transcription factor MAFB is part of the MAF family and is known to promote hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by upregulating cyclin D1. However, its role in HCC immunity and prognosis remains unclear. This study explores the biological function, prognostic significance, and immune impact of MAFB in HCC.
