Role of CD36, the macrophage class B scavenger receptor, in atherosclerosis.

abstract：:Increase in the dosage of cellular oncogenes by DNA amplification is a frequent genetic alteration of cancer cells. In neuroblastoma, amplification of the gene MYCN has been associated with aggressively growing cancers and is an indicator for poor prognosis. MYCN amplification is of predictive value in identifying pat...
