Abstract excerpt
Mutations affecting phosphorylation sites in the beta-catenin gene have been implicated in the development of human and rodent hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). To further investigate the involvement of this gene in hepatocarcinogenesis, we used several transgenic mouse models of hepatic tumors induced by overexpression of c-myc in the liver either alone or in combination with transforming growth factor (TGF)...
