Cell type and stage specific transcriptional, chromatin and cell-cell communication landscapes in the mammary gland
Yura Song,Marco Fioramonti,Gaëlle Bouvencourt,Christine Dubois,Cédric Blanpain,Alexandra Van Keymeulen +5 more
TL;DR: The authors identified conserved genes, ligands and transcription factor (TF) associated with a specific lineage throughout life as well as genes and ligands specific for a particular stage of the mammary gland.

TL;DR: It is reported that cold-induced adipocyte UCP1 expression in a female mouse subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) is regulated by mammary gland ductal epithelial cells in the adipose niche, and an evolutionary role of mammary duct luminal cells in defending glandular adiposity during cold exposure is suggested.
Sox2 is a key transcription factor required for the maintenance of pluripotency in embryonic cells and morphogenesis of several epithelia. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Arnold et al. (2011) demonstrate that Sox2 marks long-lived adult stem cells to ensure homeostasis in a broad range of adult tissues.
TL;DR: Sox2 is part of the core of the pluripotency network that acts together with other transcription factors, such asOct4orNanog, topromoteplurip.
