Podoplanin regulates mammary stem cell function and tumorigenesis by potentiating Wnt/β-catenin signaling
23 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Stem cells (SCs) drive mammary development, giving rise postnatally to an epithelial bilayer composed of luminal and basal myoepithelial cells. Dysregulation of SCs is thought to be at the origin of certain breast cancers; however, the molecular identity of SCs and the factors regulating their function remain poorly defined. We identified the transmembrane protein podoplanin (Pdpn) as a specific marker...
