There is no "perfect" model for breast cancer metastasis. However, choosing the right one is everything 🐁 The final version of my review is out. The aim is to help labs design smarter and more clinically relevant experiments. #Breast_Cancer #Metastasis #Models www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The milk-producing structures, called Terminal Ductal Lobular Units (TDLUs), serve as the functional units of the human milk factory. Shown here is a section of #breast tissue stained with carmine alum, highlighting the epithelial structures of the mammary gland. Truly #fascinating! #Science

#Breast picture of the day or should I say painting? Here's a 3D reconstruction of the human breast rendered into an artistic painting using AI tools! It really does look like something that belongs in a modern gallery. #Science #Art

This week’s 3D reconstruction of the human #breast highlights the #myoepithelial cells- the contractile cells that help squeeze the milk-producing luminal cells to release milk and nourish offspring. Truly fascinating! #Science #Art
