Defining the transcriptional lineages of breast cancer subtypes

Nature Cancer volume 5, pages 1605–1606 (2024)Cite this article

Subjects

In this work, we demonstrate the transcriptional networks that link breast cancer subtypes and their cells of origin, and how transcriptional signatures differ between benign cells and cancer.
