Interplay of host microbiota, genetic perturbations, and inflammation promotes local development of intestinal neoplasms in mice [BeadArray]

The preferential localization of some neoplasms, such as serrated polyps, in specific areas of the intestine suggests that non-genetic factors may be important for their development. To test this hypothesis, we took advantage of transgenic mice that expressed HB-EGF throughout the intestine, but develop serrated polyps only in the cecum.
