Abstract
Purpose
Despite the prevalence and significant morbidity resulting from estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast adenocarcinomas, there are only a few models of this cancer subtype available for drug development, and arguably none for studying etiology. Those models that do exist have questionable clinical relevance.
Methods
Given our goal of developing luminal models, we focused on six cell lines derived by minimal mutagenesis from normal human breast cells, and asked if any could generate clinically relevant xenografts, which we then extensively characterized.
Results
Xenografts of one cell line, 184AA3, consistently formed ER+ adenocarcinomas that had a high proliferative rate and other features consistent with “luminal B” intrinsic subtype. Squamous and spindle cell/mesenchymal differentiation was absent, in stark contrast to other cell lines that we examined or others have reported. We explored intratumoral heterogeneity produced by 184AA3 by immunophenotyping xenograft tumors and cultured cells, and characterized marker expression by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry.

Sista Pratesi on Bridget Riley’s Blaze 1964
When I saw this painting for the first time something permanent changed in me. It brought on a sense of “feel the fear and do it anyway”.
My stepfather was a hypnotherapist. He tried to get people to lose weight to become successful, to find a girl, to be somebody. His book, How to Get What You Want, should have been a best-seller. I never read it. I never looked him in the eyes for fear of being hypnotised and falling under a Svengali-like spell (a fear fuelled by films such as The Stepford Wives ), or being fooled in a Truman Show -meets -Vertigo -spawns-The Matrix kind of way.
My twenties were spent avoiding mirrors and hallucinogenic drugs. By the time Bridget Riley’s show opened at Tate Britain, I knew I was ready for some visual action.
I go to the show on my own, reasoning that if I come out as someone else, I can just disappear. I’m nervous when I come across Blaze. I don’t look at it head on – just keep it at the edges of my eyes, as if I’m not interested, have seen it all before. When I’m ready I turn and look into the centre of the painting and I let myself go. It starts with an adjustment of the eyes, and then a shifting, pulsating feeling envelops me. A floating sensation begins in m
