Abstract excerpt
Aberrant Wnt/beta-catenin signaling caused by mutations in exon 3 of the beta-catenin gene has been identified in a number of human malignancies, including stomach cancer. However, studies of mutation frequency have yielded conflicting results, and timing during progression remains largely unknown. In this study, we utilized an animal model to address this question. A total of 20 ACI male rats were treated with...
