Core Tip

Core Tip: The transmembrane 9 superfamily member (TM9SF) TM9SF family's biological function has not been investigated yet. However, some studies have suggested that its expression could be associated with the emergence and progression of tumors. This article used various experimental methods, such as CCK8, wound healing test, transwell test, and flow cytometry, to explore the effect of TM9SF1 on the biological behavior of bladder cancer (BC), in order to offer a novel approach for the treatment of BC.
