A one-year National Cancer Institute research award to study how HDL and LDL uptake helps kidney cancer cells resist oxidative damage and how this mechanism might inform treatments.
Description
NIH-funded research investigating how lipoprotein uptake affects antioxidant defenses, metabolism, and progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma. The project will identify antioxidant components and lipid cargo, assess effects in vitro and in vivo, compare HDL and LDL contributions, and explore potential therapeutic strategies.
