Profiling human breast epithelial cells using single cell RNA sequencing identifies cell diversity

Epithelial subpopulations are present in the human breast but how these differentiate or form is unclear. Here, the authors use single-cell RNA sequencing of primary human breast epithelial cells to define previously undescribed luminal, basal epithelial subpopulations and ZEB1-positive basal cells.
