Abstract excerpt
The roles of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in generating intra-tumoral diversity within each specific breast cancer subtype are far from being fully elucidated. In this study, we exposed Luminal-A breast cancer cells in culture to combined "TME Stimulation", representing three typical arms of the breast TME: hormonal (estrogen), inflammatory (tumor necrosis factor α) and growth-promoting (epidermal growth...
