Abstract

Understanding the complexity and heterogeneity of mammary cell subpopulations is vital to delineate the mechanisms behind breast cancer development, progression and prevention. Increasingly sophisticated tools for investigating these cell subtypes has led to the development of a greater understanding of these cell subtypes, complex interplay of certain subtypes and their developmental potential. Of note, increasing accessibility and affordability of single cell technologies has led to a plethora of studies being published containing data from mammary cell subtypes and their differentiation potential in both mice and human data sets. Here, we review the different types of single cell technologies and how they have been used to improve our understanding of mammary gland development.
