In the cancerous tissue, numbers of mutations were much higher, showing that gastric cancers massively accelerate mutations later during their development. An unusual finding was that some of the ...

An international team of scientists has—for the first time, they suggest—systematically analyzed somatic mutations in stomach lining tissue to unpick mutational processes, some of which can lead to ...

The lining of the intestine is the most rapidly-renewing tissue in the body. Routine shedding of epithelial cells from this lining is a key element of tissue turnover, and is thus essential to ...

For the first time, scientists have systematically analysed somatic mutations in stomach lining tissue to unpick mutational processes, some of which can lead to cancer. The team also uncovered hints ...
