Lgr5-Expressing Cells Are Sufficient and Necessary for Postnatal Mammary Gland Organogenesis
Mammary epithelial stem cells are vital to tissue expansion and remodeling during various phases of postnatal mammary development. Basal mammary epithelial cells are enriched in Wnt-responsive cells and can reconstitute cleared mammary fat pads upon transplantation into mice. Lgr5 is a Wnt-regulate...
