Breast cancer may originate in the breast stem cells

Breast cancer is the most vicious form of the genetic variation from the stem cells. From Walter and Eliza Ho Institute of Medicine scientists used a small model mice found that breast stem cells have not shown estrogen or progesterone receptors. This and other stem cell characteristics, similar to the deterioration of breast cancer among the basal tumor subtype.

There is increasing evidence that breast cancer is not simply a disease. Scientists will now breast cancer as a heterogeneous disease, each composed of seed type. This has led researchers to speculate that breast cancer may originate from stem cells in the breast.

Breast cancer gene mutation in the new detection method

New York, April 22 (Reuters Medical News) published in the April 2 of the International Journal of Cancer, according to a study using cells rely on their own RNA detection mechanism design allele-specific expression analysis (AGE) can screen out most of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutation carriers.

University of Padova, Italy Marco Montagna Dr noted that the majority of breast cancer-related genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations would lead to mRNA splicing, and activating cells called''has no intention of mRNA degradation '(NMD) detection mechanisms.
