LRG1 promotes metastatic dissemination of melanoma through regulating EGFR/STAT3 signalling

Although less common, melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer largely due to its highly metastatic nature. Currently, there are limited treatment options for metastatic melanoma and many of them could cause serious side effects. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the...
