Approximately 70% of human breast cancers are estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha)-positive, but the origins of ERalpha-positive and -negative tumors remain unclear. Hormonal regulation of mammary gland development in mice is similar to that in humans; however, most mouse models produce only ERalpha-negative tumors. In addition, these mouse tumors metastasize at a low rate relative to human breast tumors. We report...
