The MCF10 cell lines first described by Soule and colleagues in 1990 have been a great resource for the breast cancer research community, facilitating research on the regulation of normal breast epithelial phenotypes and progressive changes in this regulation during malignancy. Here we review the development of the MCF10 parental and subsequent sublines and highlight a few of the major contributions of MCF10 model systems to breast cancer research.See related article by Soule and colleagues, Cancer Res 1990;50:6075-86.
