Professor researches breast cancer prevention

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT

The research of understanding how phenotypically normal breast epithelial structures develop into tumors is lead by Sophie Leli�vre, doctor of veterinary medicine and associate professor of basic medical sciences in the School of Veterinary Medicine. The research is trying to prevent breast cancer by studying how a normal breast tissue weakens and gives rise to tumors.

Understanding the Basis for Breast Cancer by Studying the Normal Mammary Gland

Sun, 08 Feb 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Research into the normal development of the human breast, as well as the initiation and progression of breast cancer, would greatly benefit from better animal models that are more closely related to human physiology. Mice are, currently, the most widely used model for studying the development of human breast cancer and, despite the advances made in mouse models of breast cancer, many discoveries are not translatable to humans as effective treatments and interventions. Recognizing this problem, Dr. Russ Hovey, of the University of California, Davis, has been working to develop the pig as a more relevant model for studying normal human breast development and breast tumorigenesis
