Stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 facilitates breast cancer cell progression and indicates poor prognosis for breast cancer patients
Breast cancer (BC) threatened the life health of a tremendous amount of the population, and the estimated number of death is still rising nowadays. We found that stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 (STIP1) is over...
