Abstract excerpt
Oncogenic driver mutations are common in normal tissues, indicating that non-genetic factors are necessary for tumorigenesis. Phenotypic plasticity is a crucial gateway to malignancy, and inflammation can fuel tumorigenesis; however, little is known about the timing and mechanisms by which these hallmarks first emerge. Using single-cell transcriptomics and in vivo live imaging, we characterized the immediate...
