Open AccessInactivation of TGFβ receptors in stem cells drives cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma
Melanoma patients treated with oncogenic BRAF inhibitors can develop cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) within weeks of treatment, driven by paradoxical RAS/RAF/MAPK pathway activation. Here we identify ...

Modulating the therapeutic response of tumours to dietary serine and glycine starvation
Dependence on exogenous serine means that tumour growth is restricted in mice on a low-serine diet; this effect on tumour growth can be amplified by antagonizing the antioxidant response.

Correction: Corrigendum: Modulating the therapeutic response of tumours to dietary serine and glycine starvation
Nature 544, 372–376 (2017); doi:10.1038/nature22056 In this Letter, the ‘Diet 1’ formulation was incorrectly referenced as our previously published diet (ref. 7 of the Letter). The correct amino acid compositi...

Open AccessGeneration of a conditional Flpo/FRT mouse model expressing constitutively active TGFβ in fibroblasts
Transforming growth factor (TGFβ) is a secreted factor, which accumulates in tissues during many physio- and pathological processes such as embryonic development, wound healing, fibrosis and cancer. In order t...

Open AccessOncogenic BRAF, unrestrained by TGFβ-receptor signalling, drives right-sided colonic tumorigenesis
Right-sided (proximal) colorectal cancer (CRC) has a poor prognosis and a distinct mutational profile, characterized by oncogenic BRAF mutations and aberrations in mismatch repair and TGFβ signalling. Here, we de...

Open AccessEpithelial TGFβ engages growth-factor signalling to circumvent apoptosis and drive intestinal tumourigenesis with aggressive features
The pro-tumourigenic role of epithelial TGFβ signalling in colorectal cancer (CRC) is controversial. Here, we identify a cohort of born to be bad early-stage (T1) colorectal tumours, with aggressive features and ...
