Cell plasticity may provide clues to origin of aggressive type of breast cancer

4 agosto 2014

Healthy breast cells may be able to reinvent themselves — some have the flexibility to change after they are mature — which leads researchers to postulate that similarities exist between this occurrence and the origins of a particularly aggressive type of breast cancer. Researchers report 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.
