Core Tip

Core Tip: The overexpression of transmembrane 9 superfamily member 1 promotes cells into the gap 2/mitosis phase of the cell cycle and has a role in autophagy and immune-mediated mechanisms, therefore, the potential inhibition of transmembrane 9 superfamily member 1 or related pathways could result in antitumoral activity, providing a new target in the treatment of patients with bladder cancer.
