Abstract
Nuclear receptors belong to a superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors, which are involved in regulating gene expression in development, cell differentiation, physiological and metabolic processes. In this review we summarize the studies of nuclear receptor and present the progresses in the researches on nuclear receptor and lipid physiology, nuclear receptor and tumor, and nuclear receptor and co-regulators.
