Abstract:Lung cancer is responsible for ~160,000 deaths/year in the USA. Activation of signaling pathways downstream of receptor tyrosine kinase is common in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Lung epithelium specific expression of mutationally activated KRASG12D or BRAFV600E leads to tumorigenesis. Unlike KRASG12D, BRAFV600E expression leads to benign lung adenomas that do not progress. One explanation might be the lack of PI3′K signaling in BRAFV600E–driven tumors. We generated mice carrying Cre‐activated alleles of… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
