Comparison of the transcriptomes of long-term label-retaining-cells and control cells microdissected from mammary epithelium: An initial study to characterize potential stem/progenitor cells
Background: Previous molecular characterizations of mammary stem cells (MaSC) have utilized fluorescence-activated cell sorting or in vitro cultivation of cells from enzymatically dissociated tissue to enrich for MaSC. These approaches result in the loss of all histological information pertaining...
