Background Simvastatin is a promising new drug for the treatment of endometriosis. It is a cholesterol-lowering drug that acts by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, resulting in a decrease in mevalonate, a precursor of cholesterol and monocyte chemoattractant

Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 as a Diagnostic Marker for Detection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Egypt [PDF]
Background and study aim: Hepatocellullar carcinoma (HCC) is usually diagnosed at advanced stage resulting in limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis. The role of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in the diagnosis of HCC is controversial.

Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 (MCP-1): An Overview
Chemokines constitute a family of chemoattractant cytokines and are subdivided into four families on the basis of the number and spacing of the conserved cysteine residues in the N-terminus of the protein. Chemokines play a major role in selectively recruiting monocytes, neutrophils, and lymphocytes, as well as in inducing chemotaxis through the ...

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1/CCL2 produced by stromal cells promotes lung metastasis of 4T1 murine breast cancer cells. [PDF]
MCP-1/CCL2 plays an important role in the initiation and progression of cancer. Since tumor cells produce MCP-1, they are considered to be the main source of this chemokine.
