Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Breast cancer is classified into four molecular subtypes: luminal A, luminal B, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2)-positive. The tumor microenvironment plays a critical role in modulating the aggressiveness and differentiation of malignant cells. Advances in single-cell genomics have transformed our ability to analyze the cellular, transcriptional, and epigenetic heterogeneity of human tumors with unprecedented resolution. This Special Issue will highlight recent progress in our understanding of the tumor and immune microenvironments, as well as identifying relevant biomarkers and therapeutic targets, paving the way for breast cancer to become a curable disease.
