Mapping the cellular and molecular heterogeneity of normal and malignant breast tissues and cultured cell lines
21 Oct 2010

INTRODUCTION: Normal and neoplastic breast tissues are comprised of heterogeneous populations of epithelial cells involving various degrees of maturation and differentiation. While cultured cell lines have been derived from both normal and malignant tissues, it remains unclear whether they retain a similar cellular heterogeneity as to that found within breast tissues. METHODS: We used 12 reduction mammoplasty...
