Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations in the KRAS proto-oncogene occur almost ubiquitously in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and in its putative precursor lesions, pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN). Conditional expression of an activated Kras allele in the mouse pancreas produces a model that faithfully recapitulates PanIN formation and progression to PDAC. Importantly, although nearly every cell in the...
