ALKBH4 promotes tumourigenesis with a poor prognosis in non-small-cell lung cancer

Abstract The human AlkB homolog family (ALKBH) of proteins play a critical role in some types of cancer. However, the expression and function of the lysine demethylase ALKBH4 in cancer are poorly understood. Here, we examined the expression and function of ALKBH4 in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC...
