MMTV-induced pregnancy-dependent mammary tumors: Early history and new perspectives
Almost 60 years ago, Foulds carefully described for the first time a particular type of mouse mammary tumor that appeared in the glands of pregnant females and disappeared shortly after delivery. Since then, the attention that researchers paid to the Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus (MMTV)-induced pregnanc...
