[Science Advances] Investigators isolated multiple distinct single-cell clones from the SUM149PT human breast cell line spanning the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition spectrum having diverse migratory, tumor-initiating, and metastatic qualities, including three unique intermediates.

[Science Translational Medicine] The authors demonstrated that spontaneous triple-negative breast cancer tumors from a genetically engineered mouse model, multiple patient-derived xenografts, and archival patient samples exhibited large populations in vivo of hybrid E/M cells that lead invasion ex vivo while expressing both epithelial and mesenchymal characteristics.

[Cancer Cell International] CircPDSS1 was upregulated in BC cells, and circPDSS1 knockdown repressed BC cell malignant behaviors.

[Annals of Biomedical Engineering] Scientists present an image processing and segmentation pipeline for the detection of 3D GFP-fluorescent triple-negative breast cancer cell nuclei, and they performed quantitative analysis of the formed spatial patterns and their temporal evolution.

[Endocrine-Related Cancer] Investigators compile the current knowledge demonstrating the altered expression of splicing variants and spliceosomal components in BCa, showing the existence of a growing body of evidence supporting the close implication of the alteration in the splicing process in mammary tumorigenesis.

[PLoS One] Scientists examined the effect of glucose as well as its deprivation, and antagonism using the non-metabolized analogue 2-deoxy glucose, on the proliferation of several breast cancer cell lines MCF7, MDA-MB-231, YS1.2 and pII and one normal breast cell line, using the MTT assay.
