Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The adult pancreas protects against cancer by actively expelling genetically mutated cells. Pancreatic cancer starts with cells carrying KRAS mutations; however, it is not clear how some KRAS mutant cells override cell elimination mechanisms to survive in tissues. METHODS: An in vivo mouse model of sporadic tumorigenesis was used to induce Kras and/or Tp53 mutations in low numbers of cells in...
