Abstract

RAC1 is a downstream target of the Wnt signaling that promotes intestinal stem cell expansion and tumorigenesis. Here, the authors identify the specific splice variant RAC1B as an important mediator of colorectal tumourigenesis and a potential target for enhancing the efficacy of EGFR inhibitor treatment.
