Kang-ai injection with platinum-based chemotherapy improves tumor response and immune function while reducing side effects in advanced lung cancer.
research S100A6 Protein—Expression and Function in Norm and Pathology
S100A6 protein is linked to disease progression, especially in cancers.
research A comparative study of materials assembled from recombinant K31 and K81 and extracted human hair keratins
Recombinant keratin materials may better promote skin cell differentiation than natural keratin.
research The keratoacanthoma: A review
Keratoacanthoma is a common, usually non-dangerous skin tumor that looks like squamous cell carcinoma but rarely becomes severe.
research Construction and Verification of Recombinant Follicle-specific Expression Vector
The vector successfully directed specific gene expression in hair follicles.
research An epistatic effect of KRT25 on SP6 is involved in curly coat in horses
