Polycomb group protein Bmi1 is required for growth of RAF driven non-small-cell lung cancer.
We have previously described a RAF oncogene driven transgenic mouse model for non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here we examine whether tumor initiation and growth requires the stem cell self-renewal factor Bmi1.In order to evaluate Bmi1 function in NSCLC two founder lines that differ in incidence...
