Cover: Dimethyl dicarboxylate biphenyl (DDB), an anti-hepatitis drug, has a potential chemopreventive effect on hepatocarcinogenesis induced by carcinogens in vitro. Shown in the picture are the time course of the inhibitory effect of DDB on TPA-induced down-regulation of gap junctional intercellular communication in WB-F344 rat liver epithelial cells (page 1339-1344).
