What is Progesterone about?

The ovarian hormone progesterone plays a pivotal role in altering breast stem cells and their growth, according to a new study published in Nature. The study shows that progesterone peaks during the second half of the menstrual cycle can stimulate the expansion of normal breast stem cells, which are thought to be precursors to breast cancer. This finding provides a direct link between ovarian hormones and breast stem cells, helping to explain why reproductive history is a major risk factor for breast cancer
