Increasing evidence shows that TRPM7 plays a critical role in tumor cell proliferation and invasion (Prevarskaya et al., 2010), suggesting that TRPM7 could be a therapeutic target in human malignancies (Kim et al., 2008; Yee et al., 2012; Chen et al., 2015; Huang et al., 2017; Rybarczyk et al., 2017). Here, TRPM7 is linked to neoplasm.
