Abstract excerpt
Inflammation in the pancreas drives acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM), a progenitor-like state that can be hijacked by mutant Kras in the formation of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. How these cell fate decisions vary according to KRAS mutation remains poorly understood. To define mutation-specific lineage reversion and tumor initiation, we implement Ptf1a-tdTomato mice and multiple KRAS mutants across several...
