🚨 New preprint! 🚨
Wnt/Ror2 signaling stabilizes basal identity. Using lineage tracing, we show that Ror2 loss disrupts mechanotransduction (RhoA-ROCK1-YAP1) & chromatin accessibility, driving a basal-to-luminal transition in the mammary gland.

A new study reveals how mammary tissue limits oncogenic mutations through multiple layers of protection. Self-renewing cells create barriers to mutation spread, while local tissue remodeling and duct geometry help eliminate most mutant clones. A must-read!🔖

Super happy to share that our paper is published in @Nature today! We've discovered how the breast is protected against tumor initiation—though it comes at a cost. 📰Read all about it here: https://t.co/VmJdPNt7AW 🏥@vib_ccb @Onco_KULeuven @NKI_nl @vanRheenen_Lab @BenSimons_Lab
