Featured articles Rebbeck et al. report evidence that the BRCA1 mutation in transheterozygotes (TH) may drive these clinical TH phenotypes based on elevated ovarian cancer risk in TH vs. SH2 but not SH1, and earlier age of breast cancer diagnosis in TH vs. SH2 but not SH1.
Lloyd-Lewis and colleagues assess the utility of whole-organ tissue clearing protocols in the mouse mammary gland and conclude that most methods were affordable, compatible with standard confocal microscopy and enable high-resolution, 3D imaging and phenotyping of mammary cells and tumours in situ.
Perez et al. report the results of this Phase II study, which finds that vinorelbine in combination with pertuzumab and trastuzumab is reasonably well tolerated and offers an alternative for patients who cannot receive docetaxel.
