Autophagy in Ras-induced Malignant Transformation: Fatal or Vital?
Overview
Affiliations
In this issue of Molecular Cell, Elgendy et al. suggest that Ras-induced autophagy may kill tumor cells on the verge of oncogenic transformation, providing a contrast to recent reports indicating that autophagy is required for optimal growth of Ras-driven cancers.
