Intratumoral CRH modulates immuno-escape of ovarian cancer cells through FasL regulation
(2007)Although corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and Fas ligand (FasL) have been documented in ovarian carcinoma, a clear association with tumour progression and immuno-escape has not been established. FasL plays an important ...
