Abstract
The twelfth annual workshop of the European Network for Breast Development and Cancer focused on methods in mammary gland biology and breast cancer, was scheduled to take place on March 26-28, 2020, in Weggis, Switzerland. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meeting was rescheduled twice and eventually happened as a virtual meeting on April 22 and 23, 2021. The main topics of the meeting were branching and development of the mammary gland, tumor microenvironment, circulating tumor cells, tumor dormancy and breast cancer metastasis. Novel and unpublished findings related to these topics were presented, with a particular focus on the methods used to obtain them. Virtual poster sessions were a success, with many constructive and fruitful interactions between researchers and covered many areas of mammary gland biology and breast cancer.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Mammary Gland Biology and Neoplasia is the leading Journal in the field of mammary gland biology that provides researchers within and outside the field of mammary gland biology with an integrated source of information pertaining to the development, function, and pathology of the mammary gland and its function.
Commencing in 2015, the Journal will begin receiving and publishing a combination of reviews and original, peer-reviewed research. The Journal covers all topics related to the field of mammary gland biology, including mammary development, breast cancer biology, lactation, and milk composition and quality. The environmental, endocrine, nutritional, and molecular factors regulating these processes is covered, including from a comparative biology perspective.
