Tumour–stroma interactions in colorectal cancer: converging on β-catenin activation and cancer stemness

Sporadic cases of colorectal cancer are primarily initiated by gene mutations in members of the canonical Wnt pathway, ultimately resulting in β -catenin stabilisation. Nevertheless, cells displaying nuclear β -catenin accumulation are nonrandomly distributed throughout the tumour mass and preferent...
