Mammary development meets cancer genomics - pp842 - 844
Aleix Prat & Charles M. Perou
Mammary epithelial cell development is thought to progress from undifferentiated stem cells into at least two differentiated cell types. A new study has now characterized some of these distinct developmental stages and links them to tumor subtypes previously defined by gene expression profiling (pages 907–913).
