Clusterin in disease pathology

Clusterin in disease pathology is a research topic within Oncology. Science Explorer counts 4.8k research works in it since 1954. 19.2% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the multifaceted role of Clusterin, a chaperone protein, in cancer development, progression, and therapy. It investigates its involvement in apoptosis inhibition, TGF-ß signaling modulation, angiogenesis promotion, chemoresistance, and its potential as a biomarker for various cancers. The papers also discuss the implications of Clusterin in metastasis, particularly in prostate cancer.
