Protein translation and ER stress in intestinal homeostasis and cancer

Research output: PhD ThesisPhd-Thesis - Research and graduation internal

Abstract

This thesis explores the interaction between protein translation control mechanisms and colon cancer.
We first investigate translation potential of cancer cells by implementing consecutive oncogenic mutations in intestinal organoids. We find increased global translation capacity following accumulation of mutations. We
