Epithelial plasticity can generate multi-lineage phenotypes in human and murine bladder cancers

Recent studies have utilized bulk tumour mRNA sequencing to classify bladder cancers into distinct subgroups. Here, the authors use single cell transcriptomic analysis and cell transplant studies to show that epithelial plasticity can generate basal, luminal and mesenchymal phenotypes in human and m...
