Macrophage scavenger receptors: Tumor support and tumor inhibition [PDF]
Frontiers in Oncology, 2023 Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a heterogeneous population of myeloid cells that constitute up to 50% of the cell mass of human tumors. TAMs interact with the components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) by using scavenger receptors (SRs), a ...

Alpha-Fetoprotein Binding Mucin and Scavenger Receptors: An Available Bio-Target for Treating Cancer [PDF]
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) entrance into cancer cells is mediated by AFP receptors (AFPRs) and exerts malignant effects. Therefore, understanding the structure of AFPRs will facilitate the development of rational approaches for vaccine design, drug delivery,

More Than Just a Removal Service: Scavenger Receptors in Leukocyte Trafficking [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Scavenger receptors are a highly diverse superfamily of proteins which are grouped by their inherent ability to bind and internalize a wide array of structurally diverse ligands which can be either endogenous or exogenous in nature.

Immunological Outcomes Mediated Upon Binding of Heat Shock Proteins to Scavenger Receptors SCARF1 and LOX-1, and Endocytosis by Mononuclear Phagocytes [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Heat shock proteins (HSP) are a highly abundant class of molecular chaperones that can be released into the extracellular milieu and influence the immune response. HSP release can occur when cells undergo necrosis and exude their contents.

Scavenger receptors: key players in the immunological puzzle of lupus [PDF]
Frontiers in LupusScavenger receptors (SRs) play an important role in the innate immune response by recognizing and binding a variety of ligands to initiate the removal of both altered self- and non-self-antigens. Over the last two decades, SRs have become a forefront for
