    Luminal epithelial cells integrate variable responses to aging into stereotypical changes that underlie breast cancer susceptibility

    Rosalyn W Sayaman, Masaru Miyano ... Mark A LaBarge
    Breast luminal epithelial cells are the hotspots of aging-associated changes, which prime aged epithelia for oncogenic gene activation and may explain individual differences in breast cancer susceptibility due to the aging-associated increase in gene expression variances in luminal epithelia.
