Abstract

Forkhead Box m1b (Foxm1b) is a subtype of the Fox transcription factor family. It is detected in all proliferative cells, but disappears when cells enter into their terminal differentiation phase. Foxm1b is closely related to hepatocellular growth, mainly through inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors to influence cell proliferation. It also participates in growth hormone (GH) mediated cell multiplication, but does not induce tumors. The expression of Foxm1b has been observed in many tumor cell lines and malignant tumors, indicating that it might be an essential proto-oncogene in carcinogenesis. Furthermore, Foxm1b may take part in liver regeneration after hepatectomy, hepatic failure and liver transplantation. Foxm1b is a new potential target for the treatment human hepatic cell carcinoma (HCC).

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.

Adrenocortical Carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of primary liver cancer and frequently occurs in individuals with chronic liver diseases like cirrhosis. Here is the latest research.
