A study of neurokinins and other oedema-inducing mediators and mechanisms in thermal injury.

abstract：:Malignant tumours are a major cause of mortality in humans. Currently used therapeutic regimens have not improved survival rates of patients suffering from malignant tumours much because of their limited efficacy and side-effects. A therapeutic approach that uses Newcastle disease virus (NDV) represents an attractive ...
