Stem cell senescence drives age-attenuated induction of pituitary tumours in mouse models of paediatric craniopharyngioma
22 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
Senescent cells may promote tumour progression through the activation of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), whether these cells are capable of initiating tumourigenesis in vivo is not known. Expression of oncogenic β-catenin in Sox2+ young adult pituitary stem cells leads to formation of clusters of stem cells and induction of tumours resembling human adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP),...
