I have uncovered novel molecular mechanisms of evasion of apoptosis by pre-malignant and cancer mammary cells driven by unsuspected micro-environmental signals from the tissues. This allows for these compromised cells to survive major catastrophic events produced by DNA damage or chemotherapeutic drugs.
