Inhibition of autophagy mitigates cell migration and invasion in thyroid cancer
Autophagy is a highly conserved process for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Upregulation of autophagy promotes metastasis by promoting the cancer stem cell state while also stimulating tumor cell migration and invasion. We hypothesized that autophagy upregulation would be critical for cancer stem cell maintenance as well as cellular migration and invasion in thyroid cancer.
