        | Core Tip | 
        Colorectal cancer has a low 5-year survival rate and high mortality. Human β-defensin-1 (hBD-1) is likely to play an integral function in the innate immune system, contributing to the recognition and destruction of cancer cells. Hence, we explored the effect of hBD-1 on colon cancer SW620 cells, which could be good for the development of therapy for colorectal cancer. |
