Bmp and activin membrane-bound inhibitor (BAMBI) was initially described as
a pseudo receptor antagonizing TGF-β receptor
activation, thus impairing signaling. This study tries to find the expression and
its significance of BAMBI in breast cancer and explore the relation between BAMBI
and clinical and pathological factors of breast cancer. The expression of BAMBI
was studied using three cell lines model and Immunofluorescence staining. The impact of BAMBI expression on breast cell wa...
