PTEN overexpression and nuclear β-catenin stabilization promote morular differentiation through induction of epithelial–mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cell-like properties in endometrial carcinoma

Abstract Background Although a lack of functional PTEN contributes to tumorigenesis in a wide spectrum of human malignancies, little is known about the functional role of its overexpression in the tumors. The current study focused on PTEN overexpression in endometrial carcinoma (Em Ca). Methods The...
