Cell plasticity represents the ability of cells to be reprogrammed and to change their fate and
identity, enabling homeostasis restoration and tissue regeneration following damage. Cell …

The natural history of cancers can be understood through the lens of evolution given that the
driving forces of cancer development are mutation and selection of fitter clones. Cancer …

Tumor evolution is driven by the progressive acquisition of genetic and epigenetic
alterations that enable uncontrolled growth and expansion to neighboring and distal tissues …

DNA mismatch repair deficiency (MMRd) is associated with a high tumor mutational burden
(TMB) and sensitivity to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Nevertheless, most …

Epithelial stem cells serve critical physiological functions in the generation, maintenance
and repair of diverse tissues through their ability to self-renew and spawn more specialized …

Despite the success of targeted therapies in cancer treatment, therapy-induced resistance
remains a major obstacle to a complete cure. Tumor cells evade treatments and relapse via …

The WNT signaling pathway is a critical regulator of development and adult tissue
homeostasis and becomes dysregulated in many cancer types. Although hyperactivation of …

Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cellular programme that is known to be crucial
for embryogenesis, wound healing and malignant progression. During EMT, cell–cell and …

Tumor evolution from a single cell into a malignant, heterogeneous tissue remains poorly
understood. Here, we profile single-cell transcriptomes of genetically engineered mouse …

Lung cancer is closely associated with chronic inflammation, but the causes of inflammation
and the specific immune mediators have not been fully elucidated. The lung is a mucosal …
