Mechanisms of PTEN loss in cancer: It's all about diversity

V Álvarez-Garcia, Y Tawil, HM Wise… - Seminars in cancer biology, 2019 - Elsevier
PTEN is a phosphatase which metabolises PIP 3, the lipid product of PI 3-Kinase, directly
opposing the activation of the oncogenic PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling network. Accordingly …
