Open AccessThe interaction of HAb18G/CD147 with integrin α6β1 and its implications for the invasion potential of human hepatoma cells
HAb18G/CD147 plays pivotal roles in invasion by hepatoma cells, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Our previous study demonstrated that overexpression of HAb18G/CD147 promotes invasion by interactin...
