title: [Advance in the research of endostatin].
abstract: Endostatin was a newly found N-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII NC1 domain, which has distinct anti-angiogenesis character. Its prominent anti-tumor effect in mouse model made its a hot point of research and a promising anti-tumor drug candidate. This article will give some discussion in this field.
