摘 要:Cellular plasticity,the dynamic ability of cells to adopt distinct transcriptional states,plays a well-known role in the pancreas during the initiation of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDA),the most common form of pancreatic *** is now becoming clear that plasticity also plays an important role after the emergence of *** is composed of two major transcriptional subtypes,classical and basal-like,with important biological *** work has indicated that individual tumors can be comprised of cells of each subtype,and that tumor subtype can change during the evolution of a *** suggests that PDA cells can transit between transcriptional states,with important implications for disease *** review discusses what is currently known about inter-subtype plasticity and how this process is controlled.
