AKR1B10 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Additionally, this study will explore the correlation between AKR1B10 expression and immune cell infiltration in HCC, uncover potential signaling pathways involved, and identify LncRNA–miRNA networks regulating AKR1B10 expression, aiming to reveal its unique expression patterns and possible biological functions in HCC, providing new targeted strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
