Chronic colitis reshapes colon stem cells in ways that can accelerate tumour growth
Even after inflammation resolves, colonic stem cells can retain a hidden molecular memory that increases the likelihood of later tumour growth, offering a new mechanistic link between chronic inflammatory disease and cancer risk.
