Breast Carcinoma
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE We hypothesized that Notch, IL-1 and leptin crosstalk outcome (NILCO) plays an essential role in the regulation of leptin-mediated induction of proliferation/migration and expression of pro-angiogenic molecules in breast cancer. 21731759 2011
CUI: C0678222
