Downregulation of alpha-fetoprotein expression by LHX4: a critical role in hepatocarcinogenesis.

abstract：:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have been considered to play an important role for tumor progression of cancer. Solid tumors contain heterogeneous distribution of oxygen in their microenvironments. This study investigated the growth signaling of gastric cancer (GC) cells in focus on the interaction with CAFs and ...
