Open AccessSOX7 co-regulates Wnt/β-catenin signaling with Axin-2: both expressed at low levels in breast cancer
SOX7 as a tumor suppressor belongs to the SOX F gene subfamily and is associated with a variety of human cancers, including breast cancer, but the mechanisms involved are largely unclear. In the current study,...
