Ni et al. reported that MYLIP regulates the growth and metastasis-related phenotypes of cervical cancer cells Ni et al. (2021), while the knockdown of PSMD2 (proteasome 26S subunits, non-ATPase 2) has been reported to suppress tumor cell proliferation (Matsuyama et al., 2011; Li Y. et al., 2018; Okumura et al., 2018). Here, MYLIP is linked to cervical cancer.
