Searching for Better Lung Cancer Models - KS Mice
Mar 18, 2024
In this issue, we introduce the KS mouse model of lung cancer, based on the most common cancer-associated K-Ras mutant, K-Ras(G12D). Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, with over 2.2 million new cases reported globally in 2020. According to data released by the Chinese National Cancer Center, lung cancer had already become the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among all malignant tumors in China by 2015. Read More >
