GLRX3, a novel cancer stem cell-related secretory biomarker of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
Abstract Background Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are implicated in carcinogenesis, cancer progression, and recurrence. Several biomarkers have been described for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) CSCs; however, their function and mechanism remain unclear. Method In this study, secretome analysis w...
