University of Virginia researchers have developed a revolutionary three-dimensional model that allows them to visualize how breast tissue grows in its earliest stages, giving them the closest look ever at the very beginnings of breast cancer. The new model represents a major scientific milestone - it's the first time scientists have been able to successfully and accurately replicate the early growth of human breast tissue outside of the body.
