GATA6 Exerts Potent Lung Cancer Suppressive Function by Inducing Cell Senescence

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) play a critical role in restricting tumorigenesis and impact the therapeutic effect of various treatments. However, TSGs remain to be systemically determined in lung cancer. Here, we identified GATA6 a...
