Oncogenic KRAS drives heterogeneity in metabolic and signalling pathways through genetic and non-genetic mechanisms
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive disease that is typically diagnosed at a late stage. PDAC development occurs over approximately 20 years and the initiating event is often an activating mutation in key ... -
Development of imaging techniques to assess tumour cell death
