Phased diploid genome assemblies and pan-genomes provide insights into the genetic history of apple domestication
Domestication of the apple was mainly driven by interspecific hybridization. In the present
study, we report the haplotype-resolved genomes of the cultivated apple (Malus domestica …

Pancreatic cancer exosomes initiate pre-metastatic niche formation in the liver
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs) are highly metastatic with poor prognosis,
mainly due to delayed detection. We hypothesized that intercellular communication is critical …
