Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: mice. This indicated cathelicidin might be a tumor growth factor for lung cancer, which was associated for proliferation of tumor cells. In the future, this animal model will be useful to study the distinct role of cathelicidin in induced-lung cancer development.
