Autocrine generation and requirement of BSF-2/IL-6 for human multiple myelomas.

abstract：:Features that were once considered exclusive to modern birds, such as feathers and a furcula, are now known to have first appeared in non-avian dinosaurs. However, relatively little is known of the early evolutionary history of the hyperinflated brain that distinguishes birds from other living reptiles and provides th...
