Upregulation of the microRNA cluster at the Dlk1-Dio3 locus in lung adenocarcinoma. [PDF]
Mice in which lung epithelial cells can be induced to express an oncogenic Kras(G12D) develop lung adenocarcinomas in a manner analogous to humans. A myriad of genetic changes accompany lung adenocarcinomas, many of which are poorly understood.
