Abstract

Macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1), a transforming growth factor-beta superfamily cytokine, is involved in tumor pathogenesis, and its measurement can be used as a clinical tool for the diagnosis and management of a wide range of cancers. Although generally considered to be part of the cell's antitumorigenic repertoire, MIC-1 secretion, processing, and latent storage suggest a complex, dynamic variability in MIC-1 bioavailability in the tumor microenvironment, potentially modulating tumor progression and invasiveness.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
