    Description

    Summary from GEO: "Damaged tissues have increased risk of cancer development through poorly understood mechanisms. In the pancreas, tissue damage collaborates with activating mutations in the Kras oncogene to dramatically accelerate the formation of early neoplastic lesions and ultimately pancreatic cancer. By integrating genomics, single-cell chromatin assays and spatiotemporally-controlled functional...

    Description

    Summary from GEO: "The eIF4E translation initiation factor has oncogenic properties and concordantly, the inhibitory eIF4E-binding protein (4EBP1) is considered a tumor suppressor. The exact molecular effects of 4EBP1 activation in cancer are still unknown. Surprisingly, 4EBP1 is a target of genomic copy number gains (Chr. 8p11) in breast and lung cancer. We notice that 4EBP1 gains are genetically...
