Increased mRNA translation delays lung adenocarcinoma initiation and exposes a therapeutic vulnerability to MEK inhibitors Although protein synthesis inhibitors are being evaluated as anti-cancer agents, the dynamics of mRNA translation in early tumorigenesis are still poorly understood. We report that deletion of the mRN...

Check out our collaborators' latest preprint showing excessive translation rates slow lung tumour development, forcing tumours to rewire signalling & exposing exquisite sensitivity to MEK inhibition:
