The Human Male Mammary Gland has Similar Epithelial Populations to Female but Distinct Composition and Transcriptional Properties

2026-03-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The normal adult male breast has not been characterized at single-cell resolution, leaving the cellular basis of male breast cancer (MBC) biology undefined. Here we present an integrated single-cell RNA sequencing atlas of the adult human breast comprising 174,471 cells from 17 donors (3 male, 14 female), including 18,117 male-derived cells. This revealed that the male breast retains all three e...
