The layer of cells that line the stomach - the gastric epithelium - form gastric glands, or pits, and these contain the cells that can give rise to stomach cancer. The cells in our body acquire ...

The study found that gastric cells in some individuals carried three copies of certain chromosomes, hinting toward exposure to an unknown mutagen.

Scientists identify mutation patterns in healthy stomach lining, offering new insights into the earliest steps of cancer ...

The layer of cells that line the stomach -- the gastric epithelium -- form gastric glands, or pits, and these contain the cells that can give rise to stomach cancer.

Research published online in Nature on March 19, 2025, closely examines the changes occurring in the gastric epithelium during the progression toward cancer development. Certain mutations that occur ...

The squamo-columnar junction or Z-line (where the 'whitish' esophageal squamous mucosa finishes and the reddish gastric columnar mucosa starts). The esophagogastric junction or lower esophageal ...

Comprehensive maps of mutations in healthy and diseased gastric tissue give clues about how cancer arises and could inform early-detection strategies. Read the paper: The somatic mutation ...
