Abstract:Cancer is difficult to treat because it is a disease caused by multiple genetic alterations. Understanding how individual mutations contribute to pathogenesis and how they cooperate to aid malignancy offers deep insights of tumorigenic mechanisms that will facilitate the design of effective treatment. However, conventional methods, including most mouse cancer models, do not offer the temporal and spatial resolution required to study tumorigenesis in great details, especially because single gene mutations rarel… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
