The mammary gland is a dynamic organ with various physiological processes like cellular
proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis during the pregnancy-lactation-involution cycle. It …

Mammographic density refers to the radiological appearance of fibroglandular and adipose
tissue on a mammogram of the breast. Women with relatively high mammographic density …

The mammary gland is a compound, branched tubuloalveolar structure and a major
characteristic of mammals. The mammary gland has evolved from epidermal apocrine …

We propose a new scenario for mammary evolution based on comparative review of early
mammary development among mammals. Mammary development proceeds through …

Background The mammary gland is a dynamic organ that undergoes dramatic physiological
adaptations during the transition from late pregnancy to lactation. Investigation of the …

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

Reflecting millions of years of adaptation and optimization, milk is unique to the species that
produces it and for the young of which it is intended, with large variations in both lactation …

Breast milk is chock-full of nutrients, immunological factors, and cells that aid infant
development. Maternal cells are the least studied breast milk component, and their unique …

Most of mammary gland development occurs postnatally under the control of female
reproductive hormones, which in turn interact with other endocrine factors. While hormones …

The mammary glands of all mammals are rich and diverse in their histomorphogenesis,
developmental biology, genomics and metabolism. Domesticated livestock comprise a …
