## Abstract Tβcadherin is an atypical cadherin and growing evidence has indicated that Tβcadherin exerts tumorβsuppressive effects on cancers of epithelial cell type and also causes positive effects on tumor angiogenesis. Human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a hypervascular tumor and Tβcadherin
Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by chemotherapy is often impeded by the intrinsic multidrug resistance (MDR) of this frequent primary cancer of the liver. The MDR phenotype can be caused by ATP-dependent export of chemotherapeutic drugs across the plasma membrane being mediated by transp
