Lactation is critical to infant short-term and long-term health and protects mothers from
breast cancer, ovarian cancer and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The mammary gland is a …

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 …

The breast is a dynamic organ whose response to physiological and pathophysiological
conditions alters its disease susceptibility, yet the specific effects of these clinical variables …

Characterising the hierarchy of mammary epithelial cells (MECs) and how they are
regulated during adult development is important for understanding how breast cancer …

Aging is closely associated with increased susceptibility to breast cancer, yet there have
been limited systematic studies of aging-induced alterations in the mammary gland. Here …

Researchers have recently called for human lactation research to be conceptualized as a
biological framework where maternal and infant factors impacting human milk, in terms of …

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 …

Short-read sequencing enables assessment of genetic and biochemical traits of individual
genomic regions, such as the location of genetic variation, protein binding and chemical …

Regulation of high-density loci harboring genes with different cell-specificities remains a
puzzle. Here we investigate a locus that evolved through gene duplication and contains …
