Core Tip

Core Tip: The receptor for advanced glycation products (RAGE) is involved in every stage of the pathophysiological pathways that lead to the progression of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. This article provides a focused discussion on the stages of obesity leading to the development of metabolic diseases and provides a broad overview of the contribution of RAGE to the development of diabetes and cancer.
