I am thrilled to share with the world a new preprint, spearheaded by the truly amazing Jose Reyes in partnership with the Lowe lab. The paper sheds light on benign to malignant transition in PDAC, uncovering roles of plasticity, tissue remodeling and P53. -> www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Oncogenic and tumor-suppressive forces converge on a progenitor-orchestrated niche to shape early tumorigenesis
The transition from benign to malignant growth is a pivotal yet poorly understood step in cancer progression that marks the shift from a pathologically inert condition to a clinically lethal disease. ...
