Although its precise mechanistic contributions remain to be elucidated, the regulation of KRTAP5-2 in DMU‐212–treated endothelial cells raises the possibility that it participates in cell signaling networks that influence apoptosis and angiogenesis. As such, KRTAP5-2 represents a potential novel marker or mediator in cellular responses to antiangiogenic therapies, warranting further functional studies to clarify its role in vascular biology and related pathologies."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "7"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Yasuyuki Nagasawa, Daisuke Okuzaki, Eri Muso, et al.
