Examples

“She concludes: "The association between exposure to low concentrations of carageenan in tissue culture and destruction of mammary myoepithelial cells may be relevant to the occurrence of invasive mammary malignancy in vivo and provides another approach to investigation of mammary carcinoma.”
“The transformed MCF10AT cells form hyperplastic ductal structures on xenografting that have both myoepithelial and luminal components, suggesting that the MCF10A parental line has properties of a bipotential breast epithelial progenitor”
