Malignant transformation of non-neoplastic Barrett's epithelial cells through well-defined genetic manipulations.

Human Barrett's cancer cell lines have numerous, poorly-characterized genetic abnormalities and, consequently, those lines have limited utility as models for studying the early molecular events in carcinogenesis. Cell lines with well-defined genetic lesions that recapitulate various stages of n...
