Genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screening in hepatocellular carcinoma with lenvatinib resistance
Abstract Lenvatinib is the first target drug approved for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the development of drug resistance is common, and the mechanisms of lenvatinib resistance and resistant targets in HCC are poorly understood. By using CRISPR/Cas9 library screening, we screene...

Abstract Lenvatinib is the first target drug approved for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
