The 14-3-3 family of proteins have roles in regulating several key cellular processes. While their significant structural and functional homology had informed the idea that these proteins acted redundantly, it is now becoming clear that individual family members may have tissue and context specific functions, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of these important proteins. Here, we demonstrate that mice deficient in 14-3-3{zeta} exhibit developmental defects of the mammary epithelium, associated with dysregulation of key transcription factors involved in the maintenance of mammary stem cell populations. We believe that this model will be prove useful for investigating the role of 14-3-3{zeta} in the maintenance of mammary stem cell populations and elucidating the transcriptional networks driving specification of the mammary epithelium.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
