Human milk fungi: environmental determinants and inter-kingdom associations with milk bacteria in the CHILD Cohort Study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein and nonstructural protein 4B (NS4B) are potentially oncogenic. Aberrant activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is closely associated with hepatocarcinogenesis. We investigated the effects of HCV type 1b core protein and NS4B on Wnt/β-catenin signaling in variou...
