Abstract excerpt
For over a century, scientists reported the disruption of normal nuclear shape and size in cancer. These changes have long been used as tools for diagnosis and staging of malignancies. However, to date, the mechanisms underlying these aberrant nuclear phenotypes and their biological significance remain poorly understood. Using a model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the major histological subtypes of...
