Oncogenic KRAS cells use Wnt signalling and cell dormancy to override homeostatic cell elimination mechanisms in adult pancreas.

2024-02-14

Abstract excerpt

Epithelial tissues use homeostatic defence mechanisms to actively expel aberrant or genetically mutant cells and prevent disease. When present in healthy tissues in low numbers, we show that cells expressing cancer-causing mutations (KrasG12D, p53R172H) compete with normal cells for survival and are often eliminated. Thus, tumour initiation must require mechanisms whereby mutant cells override tissue defence mecha...
