Shortcuts to intestinal carcinogenesis by genetic engineering in organoids
14 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of the Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene is an initiating and the most relevant event in most sporadic cases of colorectal cancer, providing a rationale for using Apc-mutant mice as the disease model. Whereas carcinogenesis has been observed only at the organism level, the recent development of the organoid culture technique has enabled long-term propagation of intestinal stem cells in a...
