Early developmental conditioning of later health and disease: physiology or pathophysiology?

TL;DR: The extent to which DOHaD represents the result of the physiological processes of developmental plasticity, which may have potential adverse consequences in terms of NCD risk later, or whether it is the manifestation of pathophysiological processes acting in early life but only becoming apparent as disease later?
Journal ArticleDOI

A Big Bang model of human colorectal tumor growth

TL;DR: A 'Big Bang' model is presented, whereby tumors grow predominantly as a single expansion producing numerous intermixed subclones that are not subject to stringent selection and where both public and most detectable private alterations arise early during growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intratumor heterogeneity: evolution through space and time.

TL;DR: The implications of "trunk and branch" tumor evolution for drug discovery approaches and emerging evidence that low-frequency somatic events may drive tumor growth through paracrine signaling fostering a tumor ecologic niche are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unravelling cancer stem cell potential

TL;DR: In this Opinion article, the different parallels that can be drawn between adult SCs and CSCs in solid tumours are discussed.

Metastatic colonization by circulating tumour cells

TL;DR: An improved understanding of the mechanistic determinants of such colonization is needed to better prevent and treat metastatic cancer.

Clonal evolution in breast cancer revealed by single nucleus genome sequencing

TL;DR: The data show that aneuploid rearrangements occurred early in tumour evolution and remained highly stable as the tumour masses clonally expanded, which has important implications for the diagnosis, therapeutic treatment and evolution of chemoresistance in breast cancer.
