Single-cell evaluation reveals shifts in the tumor-immune niches that shape and maintain aggressive lesions in the breast
Abstract
The classification of breast lesions as indolent or aggressive to tailor treatment is crucial. Here, the authors use single-cell transcriptomics and multiparametric imaging of a breast cancer mouse model, report distinct tumor-immune features for the two types of lesions, and suggest the role of IL-17 signaling in disease progression.
