Open AccessNuclear PTEN safeguards pre-mRNA splicing to link Golgi apparatus for its tumor suppressive role
Dysregulation of pre-mRNA alternative splicing (AS) is closely associated with cancers. However, the relationships between the AS and classic oncogenes/tumor suppressors are largely unknown. Here we show that ...
