In vivo reprogramming drives Kras-induced cancer development

Cellular reprogramming and cancer development share properties. Here, the authors examine the impact of in vivo reprogramming on Kras-induced cancer and show reprogramming-mediated repression of somatic cell enhancers in conjunction with Kras mutation results in rapid PDAC development.
