The research, using cells from the Breast Cancer Now Tissue Bank and due to be published in Nature Communications, also shows that the epigenetic changes are inherited as long as the cell divides, and that the team's manipulations permanently and negatively affected the biology of a normal breast cell from a healthy indivBreast Cancer Now Tissue Bank and due to be published in Nature Communications, also shows that the epigenetic changes are inherited as long as the cell divides, and that the team's manipulations permanently and negatively affected the biology of a normal breast cell from a healthy indivbreast cell from a healthy individual.

Interestingly, the team found that radiologists could do better than chance in discriminating breast cancer cases from normal tissue, even when the images of abnormal breast tissue did not directly capture a cancerous lesion or when those images were taken from the contralateral breast (the breast on the other side of the body) of a woman with breast cancer.

The key was the development of a special «birdcage» coil for MRI of the mouse mammary glands, and the team began testing a wide range of protocols to get images that could distinguish between cancer, normal breast tissue and fat.
