Question and Answer 1. Paper reported that Olfm4 deletion induces colon adenocarcinoma in APCmin mice‚ so why after miR-34 deletion‚ olfm4 positive stem cell number was increased and tumor incidence was also increased? Their research was working on the colon tumorigenesis‚ but we are working on the small intestine. Also in our model‚ colon tumor is very rare‚ could because of different genetic background. The function of Olfm4 may be also tissue specific. 2. Do these changes caused by the genetic
