Mammary development and breast cancer: the role of stem cells.

Current molecular medicine - 1 Jun 2011

Ercan C, van Diest P J, Vooijs M

Abstract excerpt

The mammary gland is a highly regenerative organ that can undergo multiple cycles of proliferation, lactation and involution, a process controlled by stem cells. The last decade much progress has been made in the identification of signaling pathways that function in these stem cells to control self-renewal, lineage commitment and epithelial differentiation in the normal mammary gland. The same signaling pathways...
