Image shows a common form of liver cancer, called hepatocellular carcinoma, produced in mice following the introduction of a tumor-causing mutation in the beta-catenin gene by CRISPR base editing. The staining shows expression of a gene (Glutamine Synthetase) that is activated by mutant beta-catenin in tumors.
