Aberrant SOX9 expression mediated by protumour macrophages predicts poorer clinical outcomes in hepatoblastoma

Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) are known to promote tumour progression in many kinds of malignant tumour, including hepatoblastoma (HB). Based on previous studies, we suggested that TAM-mediated sex-determining region Y-box 9 (SOX9) signal might enhance HB progression. The...
