Inhibition of integrin subunit alpha 11 restrains gastric cancer progression through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathway
Gastric cancer (GC) is among the most frequent malignancies originating from the digestive system worldwide, while the role and specific mechanism of integrin subunit alpha 11 (ITGA11) in GC remain unclear. This study probes the expression characteristics and function of ITGA11 in GC. Firstly, The I...
