Highly metastatic claudin-low mammary cancers can originate from luminal epithelial cells

The cellular origin and oncogenic drivers promoting claudin-low breast cancer are undefined. Here, the authors report that the consistent activation of oncogenic RAS signaling, as well as regulators of EMT, play a crucial role in the cellular plasticity and maintenance of the mesenchymal and stem ce...

Here, the authors report that the consistent activation of oncogenic RAS signaling, as well as regulators of EMT, play a crucial role in the cellular plasticity and maintenance of the mesenchymal and stem cell characteristics of claudin-low mammary cancer cells.
