LA JOLLA, CA — Reviving a theory first proposed in the late 1800s that the development of organs in the normal embryo and the development of cancers are related, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have
studied organ development in mice to unravel how breast cancers, and perhaps other cancers, develop in people.
