Mouse models: An easier option
Standfirst
An efficient lentiviral method for transducing mammary stem cells, which can be transplanted into syngeneic mice and used to replicate the phenotype of a transgenic mouse model of breast cancer has been developed.

Cell migration: Collaborations at the cell front
Standfirst
