Identification of a binding site in the disintegrin domain of fertilin required for sperm-egg fusion.

abstract：:Among the earliest and most important stages during tumorigenesis is the activation of the angiogenic process, an event that is termed the "switch to the angiogenic phenotype." We have developed an in vivo system that can reliably recapitulate the stages in tumor development that represent this transition. Using this ...
