Online Now: Selective advantage of epigenetically disrupted cancer cells via phenotypic inertia dlvr.it/ScBmTK

Selective advantage of epigenetically disrupted cancer cells via phenotypic inertia

Loukas et al. show that loss of many epigenetic regulators, frequently mutated across cancer types, promote subclone expansion by conferring resistance to stressful environments. Epigenetically...

In case you missed it: our findings published earlier in @CellReports show that ESCRT proteins regulate TGF-β signalling dynamics. Sustained TGF-β signalling results from reduced ESCRT function and may contribute to tumour progression. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…
