Really happy to share a link to our work showing that anti-progestin therapy could help prevent breast cancer before menopause.
Published today in Nature, the study suggests this could be a new way to stop breast cancer before it starts: urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...

“During pregnancy, several organs are rewired to support the health of the mother and the offspring. A molecular signalling pathway called RANK–RANKL drives the expansion of the layer that lines the inside of the intestine during pregnancy and lactation.”
