Interplay between hormonal and mechanical signals in mammary morphodynamics

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract

Mammographic density is a well-established risk factor for breast cancer. In a recent study, Northey et al. reveal that the associated increase in tissue stiffness elevates extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activity, promoting progesterone receptor-dependent receptor activator of nuclear factor κβ (RANK) signaling. Thus, stiffness alters the context of hormonal signaling and increases mammary stem cells. This mechanism suggests potential treatments for breast cancer.
