§ Overview

About this project.

Ongoing research at the Organ Pathobiology and Therapeutics Institute investigating beta-catenin driven tumor formation in the liver, using a Met-Nrf2 mouse model.

§ Approach

Methods & process.

Tissue samples are analyzed via immunohistochemistry to assess pathway activation and tumor characteristics. Findings are interpreted in the context of established hepatocellular carcinoma signaling pathways.

§ Outcomes

Results.

Project is ongoing. Detailed findings and figures to be added as the work progresses.
