An adaptive Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Program Enables Basal Epithelial Cells to Bypass Stress-Induced Stasis and Contributes to Metaplastic Breast Cancer Progenitor State

Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background:</bold> Human mammary epithelial cell (HMEC) cultures encounter a stress-associated barrier termed stasis, during which most cells adopt a senescence-like phenotype. From these cultures, rare variants emerge from the basal epithelial population, re-initiating growth. Variants exhibit pre-malignant properties, including an aberrant epigenetic program that enables continu...
