Differentiation Generates Paracrine Cell Pairs That Maintain Basaloid Mouse Mammary Tumors: Proof of Concept
26 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
There is a paradox offered up by the cancer stem cell hypothesis. How are the mixed populations that are characteristic of heterogeneous solid tumors maintained at constant proportion, given their high, and different, mitotic indices? In this study, we evaluate a well-characterized mouse model of human basaloid tumors (induced by the oncogene Wnt1), which comprise mixed populations of mammary epithelial cells...
