Modulation of Matrix metalloproteinase-1 in nasopharyngeal cancer cells by photoactivation of hypericin.

abstract：:Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in childhood. The most prevalent chromosomal abnormalities are isochromosome 17q and loss of 17p, the location of the tumor suppressor gene p53. Mutations in the p53 gene in medulloblastoma are relatively infrequent but have recently been correlated to poor prog...
