Deficiency of SR‐B1 reduced the tumor load of colitis‐induced or APCmin/+‐induced colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common tumors in the world. Cholesterol plays an important role in the pathogenesis of tumors.

But the potential mechanism of SR-B1 in CRC development has not been reported.
