The organization of tight junctions in epithelia: implications for mammary gland biology and breast tumorigenesis.

abstract：:Human mammary epithelial cells emerge spontaneously from senescence, exhibiting eroding telomeric sequences, and ultimately enter crisis to generate the type of chromosomal abnormalities seen in early stages of breast cancer. In a mouse mammary tumor model, the spontaneous escape of senescence can be observed as an in...
