A team effort between the Griffith University and the UQ Centre for clinical Research (UQCCR) has characterised an in vitro model that allows further studies on the breast cancer biology.
Expansion of Breast Cancer Stem Cells Reined in

"We have recently described methods to investigate breast cancer stem cells based on research with established cell lines. We confirm in this publication that the properties found previously, also apply for primary tissues derived from breast cancer," Associate Professor Alejandro Lopez said.
"It is not a given that findings obtained from established cell lines could translate into fresh human tissue. Our results here show that cells from both behave similarly.
Chemical That Selectively Kills Breast Cancer Stem Cells Identified
A chemical that works in mice to kill the rare, but aggressive, cells within breast that have the ability to seed new tumors, has been discovered by an Indian-origin researcher in Boston.
