PTK2 promotes cancer stem cell traits in hepatocellular carcinoma by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

abstract：:Inadequate immunity that occurs in a tumor environment is in part due to the presence of M2-type tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). TGF-β has a multi-functional role in tumor development including modulating the biological activity of both the tumor and TAMs. In this study, using an in vitro TAM/tumor cell co-cultur...
