MET Signaling Mediates Intestinal Crypt-Villus Development, Regeneration, and Adenoma Formation and Is Promoted by Stem Cell CD44 Isoforms
Resistance of metastatic human colorectal cancer cells to drugs that block epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor signaling could be caused by aberrant activity of other receptor tyrosine kinases, activating overlapping signaling pathways. One of these… Continue reading
MET Signaling Mediates Intestinal Crypt Villus Development, Regeneration, and Adenoma Formation and is Promoted by Stem Cell CD44 Isoforms
Resistance of metastatic human colorectal cancer cells to drugs that block epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling could be caused by aberrant activity of other receptor tyrosine kinases, activating overlapping signaling pathways. One of thes… Continue reading
Detection, Diagnosis and Resection of Sessile Serrated Adenomas/Polyps
The evolving genomic landscape of Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma
We have recently gained unprecedented insight into genetic factors that determine risk for Barrett’s esophagus (BE) and progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA). Next-generation sequencing technologies have allowed us to identify somatic mutatio… Continue reading
Dynamics of Proliferative and Quiescent Stem Cells in Liver Homeostasis and Injury
Adult liver stem cells are usually maintained in a quiescent/slow cycling state. However, a proliferative population, marked by leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 5 (LGR5), was recently identified as an important liver stem cell … Continue reading
