Early lung carcinogenesis and tumor microenvironment observed by single-cell transcriptome analysis

With the increasing interest in health screening with chest CT Ground-glass nodule (GGN) has become one of the common lung lesions encountered in daily medical practice. Because lung adenocarcinoma in the form of GGN is an ideal model for studying early lung carcinogenesis, 11 GGN and normal lung sp...
