Silencing FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain containing 1 (FGD1) suppresses melanoma progression by inhibiting PI3K/AKT signaling pathway

Cutaneous melanoma is the leading cause of death among skin cancers despite the availability of diverse treatments. FGD1 plays an important role in multiple cancers, but how it works in cutaneous melanoma has not been illustrated. Thus, this study was intended to investigate the roles of FGD1 and it...
