Hybrid Stem Cell States: Insights Into the Relationship Between Mammary Development and Breast Cancer Using Single-Cell Transcriptomics
8 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
Similarities between stem cells and cancer cells have implicated a role for mammary stem cells in breast carcinogenesis. Recent evidence suggests that normal breast stem cells exist in multiple phenotypic states: epithelial, mesenchymal, and hybrid epithelial/mesenchymal. The proportion of cells in these states vary between individuals, suggesting that state dynamics may be influenced by genetics or environment....
