Mouse tumor organoids derived from Apc1322t mice (that, like the most common CCS1 subtype, show high Wnt signaling) were used in combination with small molecules and recombinant proteins to analyze the effects of manipulation of the Wnt, Hh, BMP, Notch, epidermal growth factor (EGF)/ErbB, and mTOR pathways on tumor development. This evidence concerns the gene MTOR and neoplasm.
