Gastric cancer with enhanced myogenesis is associated with less cell proliferation, enriched epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and angiogenesis, and poor clinical outcomes

Abstract excerpt

Gastric cancer (GC) remains a lethal disease, with over 26,000 new cases and more than 11,000 deaths annually in the US. Thus, a deeper understanding of GC biology is critical to improve survival. Myogenesis is the formation of muscle fibers, which is a mesodermal tissue. In cancer, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a known phenomenon that promotes metastasis and poor survival. Given that myogenesis...
