From the authors: “These results suggest that tissue- and cell-specific properties of [enterochromaffin (EC)] cells affect the fate and rate of tumorigenesis induced by genetic alterations and provide important insights into EC cell-derived tumorigenesis.”
This study is highlighted as one of February’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society’s APSselect program.
