Keratin 19 as a key molecule in progression of human hepatocellular carcinomas through invasion and angiogenesis. [PDF]
BMC Cancer, 2016 Keratin (K) 19-positive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is well known to have a higher malignant potential than K19-negative HCC: However, the molecular mechanisms involved in K19-mediated progression of HCC remain unclear. We attempted to clarify whether K19 directly affects cell survival and invasiveness in association with cellular senescence or ...
