TL;DR: It is demonstrated that SDF-1 strongly accelerates the shedding of syndecan-4 ectodomains and to a lesser extent that of syndECan-1 from HeLa cells, which strongly indicates the role of MMP-9 in these events occurring in both a tumoral cell line and in human primary macrophages.

TL;DR: Several modifiable factors were identified, such as daily-life moderate sun Exposure, physical activity, and normal-weight maintenance, which should be targeted by public health policies in order to improve vitamin D status in the general population, while avoiding active/intensive sun exposure, in line with recommendations for skin cancer prevention.

TL;DR: The fact that CXCR4 is expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells from liver biopsies indicates that the in vitro results reported here could be extended to in vivo conditions and strongly indicates that SDC-4 may be an auxiliary receptor for SDF-1.

TL;DR: Observations concur to demonstrate the presence of functional FSH receptors in oocytes and raise the possibility of direct control of oocyte development by FSH.

TL;DR: Liver iron overload and C282Y mutation are associated with a higher risk of HCC in patients with alcoholic but not HCV-related cirrhosis and remain independent risk factors for HCC.
