STMN1 affects the epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) of HCC cells by regulating the dynamic equilibrium of microtubules via the “STMN1 microtubule EMT” axis signal, suggesting that STMN1 might be a viable therapeutic target for limiting liver cancer metastasis [14]. The gene discussed is STMN1; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
