Mammary cancer and epithelial stem cells: a problem or a solution?

Breast cancer research : BCR - 1 Jan 2002

Smith Gilbert H

Abstract excerpt

The existing paradigms for stem cells in adult tissues include the integument, the alimentary canal, the lung, the liver, skeletal muscle and bone marrow. The mammary gland, by contrast, is the 'new kid on the block'. What little is known about stem cells in the mammary gland indicates that they possess a prodigious capacity for self-renewal. More importantly, in rodents, they persist with undiminished...
