Identification of a novel inhibitor of liver cancer cell invasion and proliferation through regulation of Akt and Twist1

Abstract When primary cancer faces limited oxygen and nutrient supply, it undergoes an epithelial–mesenchymal transition, which increases cancer cell motility and invasiveness. The migratory and invasive cancer cells often exert aggressive cancer development or even cancer metastasis. In this study,...
