“…WNT pathway components also show differential patterns of expression, with biological evidence of their importance in maintaining a mammary stem cell state, at least as inferred from studies of the mouse mammary gland (Teulière et al, ; Roarty & Rosen, ; Zeng & Nusse, ; van Amerongen et al, ; Gu et al, ) with more limited, but consistent data for human cells (Arendt et al, ). Other pathways similarly implicated are the TGF‐β (Moses & Barcellos‐Hoff, ; Kahata et al, ) and the Hippo pathways (Chen et al, ; Pelissier et al, ; Skibinski et al, ; Shi et al, ; Britschgi et al, ). Importantly, all of these are variably deregulated in breast cancers (Howard & Ashworth, ).…”
