Increased mRNA translation delays lung adenocarcinoma initiation and exposes a therapeutic vulnerability to MEK inhibitors Although protein synthesis inhibitors are being evaluated as anti-cancer agents, the dynamics of mRNA translation in early tumorigenesis are still poorly understood. We report that deletion of the mRN...
