Notch signaling drives development of Barrett’s metaplasia from Dclk1-positive epithelial tuft cells in the murine gastric mucosa

Abstract Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is a precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), but its cellular origin and mechanism of neoplastic progression remain unresolved. Notch signaling, which plays a key role in regulating intestinal stem cell maintenance, has been implicated in a number of cancers....
