PTEN loss promotes oncogenic function of STMN1 via PI3K/AKT pathway in lung cancer

Abstract Among all cancer types, lung cancer has already become the leading cause of cancer-related death around the world. The molecular mechanism understanding this development is still needed to be improved to treat lung cancer. Stathmin (STMN1) was initially identified as a cytoplasmic protein p...
