Single-cell landscape in mammary epithelium reveals bipotent-like cells associated with breast cancer risk and outcome
9 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Adult stem-cells may serve as the cell-of-origin for cancer, yet their unbiased identification in single cell RNA sequencing data is challenging due to the high dropout rate. In the case of breast, the existence of a bipotent stem-like state is also controversial. Here we apply a marker-free algorithm to scRNA-Seq data from the human mammary epithelium, revealing a high-potency cell-state enriched for an...
