abstract：:Most human cancers are of epithelial origin, but many cell culture models for the study of cancer-causing genes use fibroblasts. In addition, efficient delivery and stable expression of foreign genes into non-transformed cell lines are often difficult. To address both questions, we here established a non-transformed r...
