The development of the mammary gland is unique: the final stages of development occur
postnatally at puberty under the influence of hormonal cues. Furthermore, during the life of …

Mammary gland development occurs through distinctive stages throughout embryonic and
pubertal development and reproductive life. At each stage, different signals are required to …

The mammary gland is a unique organ in that it undergoes most of its development after
birth under the control of systemic hormones. Whereas in most other organs stem cells …

The mammary gland develops through several distinct stages. The first transpires in the
embryo as the ectoderm forms a mammary line that resolves into placodes. Regulated by …

The mammary gland is a highly dynamic organ that undergoes profound changes within its
epithelium during puberty and the reproductive cycle. These changes are fueled by …

Our understanding of the molecular events underpinning the development of mammalian
organ systems has been increasing rapidly in recent years. With the advent of new and …

Unlike most other organs, development of the mammary gland occurs predominantly after
birth, under the control of steroid and peptide hormones. Once the gland is established …

The mammary gland undergoes dramatic post-natal growth beginning at puberty, followed
by full development occurring during pregnancy and lactation. Following lactation, the …

The mammary gland is a unique tissue and the defining feature of the class Mammalia. It is a
late-evolving epidermal appendage that has the primary function of providing nutrition for …

Specification of mammary epithelial cell fate occurs during embryogenesis as cells
aggregate to form the mammary anlage. Within the embryonic mammary bud, a population …
