Uridine-cytidine kinase 2 upregulation predicts poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma and is associated with cancer aggressiveness.

abstract：:Recent studies have implicated a role for midkine (MK) in cancer progression. This is based upon its structural homology with pleiotrophin, an angiogenic growth factor, and its ability to enhance fibrinolytic activity of bovine endothelial cells. To investigate whether MK plays a role in breast cancer, we examined MK ...
