Cell plasticity may provide clues to origin of aggressive type of breast cancer — ScienceDaily
A team of researchers, led by Candice A.M. Sauder, M.D., while a resident at the Indiana University Department of Surgery, reported online in BMC Cell Biology that healthy breast cells separated from their normal environment were able to transform into types of cells similar to those seen in metaplastic carcinoma, a form of triple negative breast cancer. The team developed 12 cell lines from the normal, healthy breast tissue from volunteer donations to the Susan G…
