● Epithelial cells are transformed by gene mutations (TECs). ● TECs secrete TGF-ß (transforming growth factor beta). ● TGF-ß signals to fibroblasts which get transformed to myofibroblasts; both secrete EGF (epidermal growth factor). ● Fibroblasts/myofibroblasts form the microenvironment of the tumor ● We want to examine how they interact with the TECs at the very early stage of cancer.

● Having gained understanding of the early stage of breast cancer in vitro without ECM, the next step is to include ECM, using the value of  that was established.
