Single-cell transcriptomic analysis in a mouse model deciphers cell transition states in the multistep development of esophageal cancer

The multistep processes involved in the evolution of inflammation to invasive esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is unclear. Here, the authors report a mouse model of ESCC and the role of interplay between carcinogen-transformed epithelial cells and their microenvironment in ESCC development.
