Loss of DSTYK activates Wnt/β-catenin signaling and glycolysis in lung adenocarcinoma

Abstract Aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling and dysregulation of metabolism have been frequently observed in lung cancer. However, the molecular mechanism by which Wnt/β-catenin signaling is regulated and the link between Wnt/β-catenin signaling and cancer metabolism are not fully unders...
