Gene expression in soft-shell clam ( <i>Mya arenaria</i> ) transmissible cancer reveals survival mechanisms during host infection and seawater transfer
2024-09-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Transmissible cancers are unique instances in which cancer cells escape their original host and spread through a population as a clonal lineage, documented in Tasmanian Devils, dogs, and ten bivalve species. For a cancer to repeatedly transmit to new hosts, these lineages must evade strong barriers to transmission, notably the metastasis-like physical transfer to a new host body and rejection by...
