β-Naphthoflavone protects mice from aristolochic acid-I-induced acute kidney injury in a CYP1A dependent mechanism
The role of CYP1A in the protection of aristolochic acid (AA)I-induced nephrotoxicity has been suggested. In the present study we investigated the effects of β-naphthoflavone (BNF), a non-carcinogen CYP1A indu...

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte epitopes from human heparanase can elicit a potent anti-tumor immune response in mice
Heparanase is expressed in almost all advanced tumors, and therefore it may serve as a potential target for tumor therapy. Our previous study has shown that heparanase can serve as a potential universal tumor-...
