The paper develops a novel mouse cell line model of invasive lobular breast carcinoma that recapitulates human tumor phenotype and immune microenvironment, offering a preclinical platform for therapy evaluation.

This study identifies and characterizes patient-derived xenograft models of invasive lobular breast carcinoma using multi-omics and histopathology, finding seven ILC PDX models with CDH1 mutations and low CDH1 expression.

The paper describes the Hope for Others rapid autopsy program for metastatic breast cancer, detailing its protocols, sample collection, and findings on metastasis research and model development.

This study shows ER fusion proteins in breast cancer cell lines drive ligand-independent pro-oncogenic pathways, with subtype- and fusion-specific effects.
