Centrosomal protein 55 activates NF-κB signalling and promotes pancreatic cancer cells aggressiveness

Abstract Centrosomal protein 55 (CEP55) is a microtubule-bundling protein that participants in cell mitosis. It is overexpressed in several solid tumours and promotes the growth and invasion of cancer cells. However, the role of CEP55 in pancreatic cancer (PANC) remains unclear. Herein, upregulated...
