Deskripsi

The identity and origin of adult mammary stem cells has been much debated. Here, the authors use a stochastic genetic labelling approach, together with optical tissue clearing, to visualize clonal progeny and show that unipotent stem/progenitor cells contribute to adult mammary gland development.
