Nanoscale changes in chromatin organization represent the initial steps of tumorigenesis: a transmission electron microscopy study
14 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nuclear alterations are a well-known manifestation of cancer. However, little is known about the early, microscopically-undetectable stages of malignant transformation. Based on the phenomenon of field cancerization, the tissue in the field of a tumor can be used to identify and study the initiating events of carcinogenesis. Morphological changes in nuclear organization have been implicated in the...
