Human manganese superoxide dismutase suppresses HER2/neu-mediated breast cancer malignancy.

abstract：:The topic synthetic biology appears still as an 'empty basket to be filled'. However, there is already plenty of claims and visions, as well as convincing research strategies about the theme of synthetic biology. First of all, synthetic biology seems to be about the engineering of biology - about bottom-up and top-dow...
