A mini-review of the molecular mechanisms, mutational landscape, and therapeutic opportunities of TWIST1 in oncology.
TWIST1 is a deeply conserved basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that has emerged as a central transcriptional regulator bridging developmental biology and cancer pathogenesis. This key regulator orchestrates mesoderm formation, neural crest migration, and craniofacial morphogenesis through precise dimer...
