Published: 14 October 2011Abstract
The meeting of the European Network for Breast Development and Cancer (ENBDC) on 'Methods in Mammary Gland Development and Cancer' has become an annual international rendezvous for scientists with interests in the normal and neoplastic breast. The third meeting in this series, held in April-May 2011 in Weggis, Switzerland, focussed on functional screens and sequencing, hormones, lineage tracing, tumor-stroma interactions and the expansion of human breast tumours as xenografts.
