Normal and tumor-derived myoepithelial cells differ in their ability to interact withluminal breast epithelial cells for polarity and basement membrane deposition

TLDR: Gudjonsson et al. as discussed by the authors showed that normal and tumor-derived myoepithelial cells differ in their ability to interact with luminal breast epithelial cells for polarity and basement membrane deposition.
