Abstract excerpt
The role of autophagy in cancer is complex and context-dependent. Here we describe work with genetically engineered mouse models of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in which the tumor-suppressive and tumor-promoting function of autophagy can be visualized in the same system. We discovered that early tumorigenesis in Braf(V600E)-driven lung cancer is accelerated by autophagy ablation due to unmitigated oxidative...
