Abstract

Mammary stem cell control The ovarian hormones oestrogen and progesterone are involved in a complicated series of interactions in the mammary glands from the beginning of puberty to the menopause. Many of these changes are associated with cell proliferation, and breast cancer can result when errors occur. Two studies in this issue examine the effects of oestrogen and progesterone on mouse mammary stem cell (MaSC) function. They find that MaSC numbers decrease in virgin mice in the absence of both hormones due to ovariectomy or drug blockade, but increase with oestrogen and progesterone treatment. In addition, both groups implicate RANKL, a progesterone target known to be involved in bone remodelling and mammary gland formation, as an intermediary in the MaSC response to progesterone.
