Expression profiles and clinical significance of cystatin family genes in transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder
13 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background: Cystatins, encoded by the CST gene family, are a superfamily of cysteine protease inhibitors involved in a wide array of biological functions, including immune modulation and antimicrobial defense. Cystatin proteins are implicated in tumor progression through multiple mechanisms. However, their roles in bladder cancer remain poorly understood. Objective: This study examined the expression profiles of...
