Deskripsi
Louise van der Weyden et al. report a CRISPRa screen in mice to identify membrane protein-encoding genes that, when overexpressed, enhance the metastatic potential of melanoma cells. They find that high expression of LRRN4CL in melanoma cells increases lung metastases in mice and correlates with poorer survival in melanoma patients, suggesting it could be a promising drug target.
