In mice, the loss of microRNA miR-31 allows cancer cells to spread to the lungs more easily than cancer cells with miR-31. The edge of the cancer tumors lacking miR-31 are also less defined than tumors containing cells with higher levels of miR-31.

Human mammary epithelial cells that undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in culture may grow in suspension into structures called mammospheres--a trait they share with mammary epithelial stem cells. Here, the yellow cells present surface proteins indicating that they can develop into more than one type of mammary cell.
