Mammary gland biology and breast cancer
The EMBO Molecular Medicine Conference on Common Molecular Mechanisms of Mammary Gland Development and Breast Cancer Progression was held jointly with a meeting of the COST B20 (European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research)—a group of about 35 scientists from 23 European countries who have been meeting regularly during the past five years to discuss questions about mam...
متن کاملLactation Biology Symposium: Mammary gland biology revisited
The mammary gland goes through a coordinated series of developmental states during postnatal life in preparation for lactation. These changes ultimately reflect a changing endocrine environment alongside local alterations in the microenvironment. A longstanding assumption has been that estrogens serve as the first essential component for any of these developmental changes to be realized in the ...
متن کاملMicroRNA involvement in mammary gland development and breast cancer.
MicroRNA (miRNA) are small non-coding RNA that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. In humans, miRNA genes may account for 2 to 3% of the total number of genes. Although the biological functions of most miRNA are unknown, their importance for development, cell proliferation, cell death, and morphogenesis has been demonstrated in several species. One could thus speculate that miRNA s...
متن کاملRole of JNK in mammary gland development and breast cancer.
cJun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling has been implicated in the developmental morphogenesis of epithelial organs. In this study, we employed a compound deletion of the murine Jnk1 and Jnk2 genes in the mammary gland to evaluate the requirement for these ubiquitously expressed genes in breast development and tumorigenesis. JNK1/2 was not required for breast epithelial cell proliferation or...
متن کاملMammary gland stem cells and their application in breast cancer
The mammary gland is an organ comprising two primary lineages, specifically the inner luminal and the outer myoepithelial cell layers. Mammary gland stem cells (MaSCs) are highly dynamic and self-renewing, and can give rise to these mammary gland lineages. The lineages are responsible for gland generation during puberty as well as expansion during pregnancy. In recent years, researchers have fo...
