Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma originates from hepatocytes as a result of the effects of numerous genetic variations. Interferon-Induced Transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) is involved in the processes of cellular differentiation, apoptosis, cell adhesion, and immune cell regulation. Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) are zinc dependent endopeptidases that cleave extracellular matrix contents and play an...
