In a paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists in the laboratory of Professor Gregory Hannon at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) used a mouse model to identify a novel cell surface marker on mammary gland stem cells (MaSCs). Using that marker, the team was able to assemble a sample of MaSCs of unprecedented purity. Read more here.
