She found that extremely low doses of carageenan disrupted the internal cellular architecture of healthy breast tissue, leading her to conclude: "The widely used food additive, carageenan has marked effects on the growth and characteristics of human mammary myoepithelial cells in tissue cultures at concentrations much less than those frequently used in food products to improve solubility."

She concludes: "The association between exposure to low concentrations of carageenan in tissue culture and destruction of mammary myoepithelial cells may be relevant to the occurrence of invasive mammary malignancy in vivo and provides another approach to investigation of mammary carcinoma."

Basal-like tumors share expression markers with the underlying basal (myoepithelial) layer of normal breast ducts, are ER negative, exhibit frequent chromosome segmental gains/losses, and are associated with poor outcome in most studies.

A prevailing view is that breast epithelial stem cells give rise to bipotent basal/luminal progenitors, which then give rise to basal and luminal restricted progenitors, and from there to differentiated basal/myoepithelial and luminal epithelial cells
