During the female lifetime, the enlargement of the epithelial compartment dictated by the ovarian cycles is supported by a transient increase in the MaSC population. Notably, activation of Wnt/{beta}-catenin signaling is an important trigger for MaSC expansion. Here, we report that the miR-424/503 cluster is a novel modulator of canonical Wnt-signaling in the mammary epithelium that exerts its function by targeting the LRP6 co-receptor. Additionally, we show that the loss of this microRNA cluster is associated with breast cancers possessing high levels of Wnt/{beta}-catenin signaling.

"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.
