Core Tip

Core Tip: This work demonstrated that a (ALDH2) repression caused the accumulation of acetaldehyde, inducing cell apoptosis and DNA damage by means of activating the JNK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway in colorectal cancer (CRC). ALDH2 is utilized as a therapeutic target for reversing patients with CRC.
