Abstract excerpt
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has been implicated in promoting mitogenic, metastatic and antiapoptotic phenotypes in several types of cancer. But little is known about the signal interaction of IGF-1 and integrin in the regulation of cervical cancer development and progression. This study is to investigate the regulatory mechanism of IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) signaling and its importance in cervical cancer...
