## Abstract Human β‐defensins comprise a large number of peptides that play a functional role in the innate and adaptive immune system. Recently, clusters of new β‐defensin genes with predominant expression in testicular tissue have been discovered on different chromosomes by bioinformatics. β‐Defe
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood. In advanced disease stages, prognosis is poor and treatments have limited efficacy, thus novel strategies are warranted. The synthetic retinoid Fenretinide (HPR) induces apoptosis in NB and melanoma cell lines. We reported
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the transdermal delivery of 6-b-naltrexol (NTXOL), the active metabolite of naltrexone (NTX), across human skin and guinea pig skin in vitro and in hairless guinea pigs in vivo. NTXOL may be responsible for much of NTX's pharmacologic activity. In vitro d
