Mechanistic Insights into Transmissible Cancers of Mammals

Susan Bullman et al. Cancer Cell. .
Free article

Abstract

Transmissible cancers are clonal lineages that spread through populations via contagious cancer cells. In this issue of Cancer Cell, two articles by Stammnitz et al. and Frampton et al. present novel insights into the potential mechanisms underlying the propagation of naturally occurring transmissible cancers in mammals.
