	Research
	Research article T-cell metagene predicts a favorable prognosis in estrogen receptor-negative and HER2-positive breast cancers Achim Rody, Uwe Holtrich, Laos Pusztai, Cornelia Liedtke, Regine Gaetje, Eugen Ruckhaeberle, Christine Solbach, Lars Hanker, Andre Ahr, Dirk Metzler, Knut Engels, Thomas Karn, Manfred Kaufmann Breast Cancer Research 2009, 11:R15 (9 March 2009) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary The T-cell metagene LCK identifies ER negative breast cancers, commonly associated with poor disease free survival, and may also identify differences in prognosis within this tumor subtype.

	Research article Triple-negative breast cancers are increased in black women regardless of age or body mass index Lesley A Stead, Timothy L Lash, Jerome E Sobieraj, Dorcas D Chi, Jennifer L Westrup, Marjory Charlot, Rita A Blanchard, John C Lee, Thomas C King, Carol L Rosenberg Breast Cancer Research 2009, 11:R18 (25 March 2009) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary Triple negative breast tumors are three times more common in black than non-black women, regardless of age and BMI, and may contribute to black women's poorer breast cancer prognosis.
	Research article Loss of TGF-β or Wnt5a results in an increase in Wnt/β-catenin activity and redirects mammary tumour phenotype Kevin Roarty, Sarah E Baxley, Michael R Crowley, Andra R Frost, Rosa Serra Breast Cancer Research 2009, 11:R19 (3 April 2009) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary Loss of TGF-ß or Wnt5a, proteins involved in Wnt/ß-catenin regulation, can redirect the phenotype of mammary tumours to resemble those induced by excessive Wnt/ß-catenin, suggesting a new tumour suppressive mechanism.
