Abstract:Purpose: Epidemiological data links lack of breastfeeding with increased risk of breast cancer, particularly triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The involution process is characterized by mammary tissue remodeling, including adipocyte repopulation and re-differentiation fueled by metabolic rewiring.

As metabolic… Show more
