LncRNA PKMYT1AR promotes cancer stem cell maintenance in non-small cell lung cancer via activating Wnt signaling pathway

Abstract Background Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of human lung cancers, which has diverse pathological features. Although many signaling pathways and therapeutic targets have been defined to play important roles in NSCLC, limiting efficacies have been achieved. Methods...
