Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) loss-of-function mutations and K-Ras gain-of-function mutations are common abnormalities that occur during the initiation and intermediate adenoma stages of colorectal tumorigenesis, respectively. However, little is known about the role these mutations play in cancer stem cells (CSCs) associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis. METHODS: We analyzed tissue...
