Death-Associated Protein Kinase 1 Inhibits Progression of Thyroid Cancer by Regulating Stem Cell Markers

The activation of metastatic reprogramming is vital for cancer metastasis, but little is known about its mechanism. This study investigated the potential role of death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1) in thyroid cancer progression. We generated knockdown (KD) DAPK1 using siRNA or shRNA in 8505C a...
