Epidermal Tissue Adapts to Restrain Progenitors Carrying Clonal p53 Mutations
27 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
Aging human tissues, such as sun-exposed epidermis, accumulate a high burden of progenitor cells that carry oncogenic mutations. However, most progenitors carrying such mutations colonize and persist in normal tissue without forming tumors. Here, we investigated tissue-level constraints on clonal progenitor behavior by inducing a single-allele p53 mutation ( Trp53 R245W ; p53 ∗/wt ), prevalent in normal human...
