Abstract excerpt
Colorectal cancer (CRC) exhibits substantial interpatient heterogeneity and is driven by intricate crosstalk between tumor-intrinsic mutations and the tumor microenvironment (TME), yet the mechanisms by which specific genetic alterations remodel the TME and regulate tumor stemness remain elusive. The SRY-box transcription factor 9 (SOX9) is a key regulator of intestinal homeostasis, with mutations implicated in...
