Abstract
The abundance of adipose tissue in the mammary gland obscures vision of the 3-dimensional architecture. Hitchcock et al. employed a new technique of deep tissue imaging that has enabled visualisation of dynamic interactions between mammary gland epithelial and immune cells with unprecedented 3-dimensional clarity. Deep imaging will help further our understanding of the complex biological interactions that underpin both normal mammary gland development and the susceptibility of this tissue to cancer. This knowledge will assist the development of much-needed prevention strategies to reduce the incidence of breast cancer.
