Cell microenvironments hold key to future stem cell therapies (EurekAlert!)
( DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ) Researchers led by Berkeley Lab’s Mark LaBarge and Mina Bissell have shown that the ultimate fate of a stem or progenitor cell in a woman’s breast — whether the cell develops normally or whether it turns cancerous — may depend upon signals from multiple microenvironments. Their results suggest that modulations of microenvironmental signals are a …
