Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) can model personalized therapy responses; however, current screening technologies cannot reveal drug response mechanisms or how tumor …
Hepatoblastoma, the most prevalent pediatric liver cancer, almost always carries a WNT- activating CTNNB1 mutation, yet exhibits notable molecular heterogeneity. To characterize …
Genomic instability, a hallmark of cancer, is a direct consequence of the inactivation of the tumor suppressor protein p53. Genetically modified mouse models and human tumor …

Loss-of-function mutations in the tumour suppressor APC are an initial step in intestinal tumorigenesis 1, 2. APC-mutant intestinal stem cells outcompete their wild-type neighbours …
Colorectal cancer (CRC) has a broad range of molecular alterations with two major mechanisms of genomic instability (chromosomal instability and microsatellite instability) …

As cancers progress, they become increasingly aggressive—metastatic tumours are less responsive to first-line therapies than primary tumours, they acquire resistance to successive …
Intra-tumoural heterogeneity and cancer cell plasticity in colorectal cancer (CRC) have been key challenges to effective treatment for patients. It has been suggested that a subpopulation …
