LncRNAs, originally considered as junk RNA, are dysregulated in various types of cancer. Although protein-coding signaling pathways underlie various biologi...

The cytokine TGFβ, in the tumor microenvironment, primes cancer cells for metastasis to the lungs. TGFβ response status (TBRS) can be determined by comparing expression levels of a
