Zinc is involved in a variety of biological processes, as a structural, catalytic, and intracellular
and intercellular signaling component. Thus zinc homeostasis is tightly controlled at the …

Zinc is a trace element nutrient that is essential for life. This mineral serves as a cofactor for
enzymes that are involved in critical biochemical processes and it plays many structural …

The spread of cancer cells to distant organs represents a major clinical challenge in the
treatment of cancer. Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) has emerged as a key …

Objectives Epidermal growth factor plays a critical role in breast malignancies by enhancing
cell proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis and metastasis. Epithelial–mesenchymal transition …

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous group of tumors characterized by
aggressive behavior, high risk of distant recurrence, and poor survival. Chemotherapy is still …

The epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been postulated as a mechanism by
which cancer cells acquire the invasive and stem-like traits necessary for distant metastasis …

Since its original identification as a leukocyte gelatinase/type V collagenase and tumour
type IV collagenase, gelatinase B/matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 is now recognised as …

The Zrt‐/Irt‐like protein (ZIP) family consists of divalent metal transporters, ubiquitous in all
kingdoms of life. Since the discovery of the first ZIPs in the 1990s, the ZIP family has been …

Although many cohort studies have reported that long-term exposure to particulate matter
(PM) can cause lung cancer, the molecular mechanisms underlying the PM-induced …

Zinc, which is involved in the structure of all enzyme classes, is a micro nutrient element and
necessary for growth and development. The ability of zinc to function without causing toxic …
