Transcriptional regulation of the human iNOS gene in vascular-smooth-muscle cells and macrophages: evidence for tissue specificity.

abstract：PURPOSE:Cancer stem cells (CSCs), also known as tumor-initiating cells, are involved in tumor progression, metastasis, and drug resistance. Hybrid liposomes (HLs) are nano-sized liposomal particles that can be easily prepared by ultrasonicating a mixture of vesicular and micellar molecules in buffer solutions. In this ...
