Western-style diet-induced microbial shifts and inflammation reprogram c-Kit⁺ secretory cells into targets for tumor initiation

Sara Silva, Paola Procopio, Valeriya V. Zinina…·Mark R. Schmitt

This study shows that a Western-style diet reprograms c-Kit⁺ secretory cells into tumor-initiating cells via microbial shifts and inflammation.
