ERα dysfunction caused by ESR1 mutations and therapeutic pressure promotes lineage plasticity in ER+ breast cancer doi.org/10.1038/s430...
ERα dysfunction caused by ESR1 mutations and therapeutic pressure promotes lineage plasticity in ER+ breast cancer - Nature Cancer
Liang et al. study the impact of ERα antagonist/degraders against different Esr1 mutations in murine models and find that inhibition of mutant ERα induces lineage plasticity, which is also observed in...

The milk-producing structures, called Terminal Ductal Lobular Units (TDLUs), serve as the functional units of the human milk factory. Shown here is a section of #breast tissue stained with carmine alum, highlighting the epithelial structures of the mammary gland. Truly #fascinating! #Science
