Loss of Function of Scavenger Receptor SCAV-5 Protects C. elegans Against Pathogenic Bacteria
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Scavenger receptors play a critical role in innate immunity by acting as the pattern-recognition receptors. There are six class B scavenger receptors homologs in C. elegans.

Overflow phenomenon in serum lutein after supplementation: a systematic review supported with SNPs analyses [PDF]
International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2021 Lutein, a type of carotenoids, is found to delay the onset and progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Several lutein supplementation studies showed that after an initial increase, lutein serum levels demonstrated a subsequent decrease ...

ApoA-II modulates the association of HDL with class B scavenger receptors SR-BI and CD36
Journal of Lipid Research, 2004 The class B scavenger receptors SR-BI and CD36 exhibit a broad ligand binding specificity. SR-BI is well characterized as a HDL receptor that mediates selective cholesteryl ester uptake from HDL.

Contribution of Glycation and Oxidative Stress to Thyroid Gland Pathology—A Pilot Study
Biomolecules, 2021 The patho-mechanism of changes in the thyroid gland, including carcinogenesis, is a complex process, which involves oxidative stress. The goal of our investigation was to verify the extent of stress in the thyroid gland related to glycation.
