Abstract excerpt
In their recent article, Moore and colleagues demonstrate that, upon KRAS hyperactivation, colorectal cancer growth is driven by a reprogramming of Lgr5+ intestinal stem cell (ISC) progeny towards the acquisition of a regenerative phenotype. They find that this phenotype is regulated by a balance between WNT-related ISCs and MAPK-related regenerative and proliferative transcriptional programs. By targeting both...
