Stem cells are being intensively studied because, in addition to therapeutic weapons, they can also be targets in treatment strategies of many diseases, namely in cancer, where they have an important etiologic role. Classical regulatory pathways of stem cells are deregulated in several tumours, strengthening the role of these cells in the carcinogenesis process. The mammary gland is a good model for studying ca...
