Open AccessHLF promotes ovarian cancer progression and chemoresistance via regulating Hippo signaling pathway
Hepatic leukemia factor (HLF) is aberrantly expressed in human malignancies. However, the role of HLF in the regulation of ovarian cancer (OC) remains unknown. Herein, we reported that HLF expression was upreg...

Open AccessDownregulation of MUC15 by miR-183-5p.1 promotes liver tumor-initiating cells properties and tumorigenesis via regulating c-MET/PI3K/AKT/SOX2 axis
Mucin 15 (MUC15) is reportedly aberrant in human malignancies, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the role of MUC15 in the regulation of liver tumor-initiating cells (T-ICs) remains unknown. He...
