| Using genetic mouse models and ex vivo primary organoid cultures, scientists showed that conditional co-deletion of the LATS1 and LATS2 kinases in mature mammary luminal epithelial cells promoted the development of Krt14 and Sox9-expressing basal-like carcinomas that metastasize over time.

|
| Investigators showed that short-term TGFBR inhibitor treatment of peripubertal ACI inbred and Sprague Dawley outbred rats induced lasting changes and prevented estrogen- and carcinogen-induced mammary tumors, respectively. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported that insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling supported breast cancer stem cell self-renewal in an IRS2-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent manner that involved the activation and stabilization of MYC. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists demonstrated that the F-box protein FBXL2 was a critical negative regulator of breast cancer stem cell stemness and that downregulation of FBXL2 played a causal role in TNBC drug resistance. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| Investigators identified RBCK1 as an important regulator of hypoxia-inducing factor (HIF) 1α signaling pathway which is activated in breast cancer tumor cells in hypoxia. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Using TNBC as a model, the authors showed that compared to normal human breast epithelial cells, the TNBC cells, MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 that harbor constitutively active STAT3 also expressed higher glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, thioredoxin reductase 1, NADPH, and glutathione levels for survival. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Researchers found that checkpoint suppressor 1 had a high abundance in TNBC and its expression was tightly associated with malignant phenotype and poor outcomes of patients. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the effect of the androgen receptor signaling pathway-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) on the process of subtype classification and the tumor microenvironment of breast cancer. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators performed RNA-seq analyses on a combined dataset of 2D and 3D cultures of tumorigenic MCF7 and non-tumorigenic MCF10A. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the molecular subtype discordance between the primary tumor and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in breast cancer patients. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors select relevant genes in breast cancer treatment pathways to evaluate treatment response from a pharmacogenetic perspective and highlight polymorphism frequencies and ethnic and continental representation of breast cancer. [Pharmacogenomics] |

|
| Endomag announced that the Magtrace® lymphatic tracer can now be used for all patients undergoing breast cancer surgery across the US while reducing the reliance on uncertain radioactive tracer availability. [Endomag (GlobeNewswire, Inc.)] |
