Brief description Tissues are built by small populations of progenitor cells which divide unequally to generate different cell types. Recent studies suggest defective progenitor cells are founders of some breast cancers and that progenitor-like cancer cells resist therapy to regenerate tumours. We have shown a progenitor division regulator called GPSM2 controls these cells and inhibits breast cancer. Examination of this new anti-tumour pathway promises to identify therapeutic targets for breast cancer recurrence.
