The Mammary Gland as an Experimental Model: Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology
Editat de Mina J. Bissell, Kornelia Polyak, Jeffrey M. Rosenen Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 iul 2011
Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology reviews our understanding of mammary gland development, physiology, and tumor formation, emphasizing the value of the organ as a model system. The contributors examine the roles of hormones, growth factors, oncogenes, and the extracellular matrix in normal development and cancer. In addition, they discuss the nature of the mammary gland stem cell population and review the gene expression programs activated and chromatin modifications that occur as the different cell lineages present differentiate. The book also contains chapters covering the many experimental approaches that have been used in this field, including transplantation, genetic engineering, RNA interference and genomics, three dimensional culture models, and live cell imaging. It will thus be of interest to all researchers working in cell, developmental, and cancer biology, as well as those focused specifically on mammary gland biology and breast cancer.

Descriere
Studies of mammary gland biology are critically important given the prevalence of breast cancer. This organ represents an excellent model system for research into developmental mechanisms, gene regulation, tissue organization, hormonal action, secretion, and stem cell biology. This book provides valuable lessons for all cell, developmental, and cancer biologists.
