Paracelsus, a Swiss physician of the sixteenth century, stated that everything is toxic, it is just the dose that matters. This statement still holds true 500 years after Paracelsus developed it to defend the use of toxic compounds such as lead and mercury in the treatment of serious diseases such as syphilis. Chemical compounds cause their toxic effects by inducing changes in cell physiology and biochemistry, and an understanding of cellular biology is a prerequisite if one wishes to understand the nature of toxic reactions.

The potential of live cell imaging to address mechanisms of cellular biology is ever expanding. Directed protein-tagging techniques have been used to visualize nascent versus mature protein in vivo (Rodriguez et al., 2006). This technique involves the use of arsenic-based dyes, such as FiAsH or ReAsH, which bind to tetracysteine (TC) tags (Zhang et al, 2002). In addition, photo-activatable variants of GFP have been shown to determine the kinetics of protein movement in live cells (Patterson and Lippincott-Schwarz, 2002). Furthermore, techniques such as FRET and the...

A second element in breast cancer genesis is cellular biology. The availability of cellular models able to reproduce the development of a breast cancer allows the study of the sequential morphologic changes and to test the impact of different manipulations of factors modifying the progression of the disease.
