We have reported previously that LZTS1 is downregulated in high-grade bladder cancer and that its restoration suppresses tumorigenicity in urothelial carcinoma cells. To further investigate the role of LZTS1 in the development of bladder cancer, we utilized heterozygous and nullizygous Lzts1 mice in a...
