In experiments with mouse tissue, UC San Francisco researchers have discovered that the adaptive immune system, generally associated with fighting infections, plays an active role in guiding the ...

During lactation, the mammary gland undergoes significant structural and functional changes to produce milk, which is essential for neonatal nutrition and early immune development. Traditional ...

A new culture system that tests the role of chemical exposure on the developing mammary gland has found that bisphenol A (BPA) directly affects the mammary gland of mouse embryos. The study show that ...

A survey of human tumor cell lines for the expression of novel Notch4 RNA species revealed a 1.8 kb RNA species in certain breast, colon and lung carcinoma cell lines (Imatani and Callahan, 2000).

Mammary organoids derived from mouse embryonic stem cells could offer clues into mammary gland developmental origins and help researchers study breast cancer. “When we use embryonic stem cells, they ...

Hormones, growth factors and several proteins ensure that development occurs in the right way, at the right time. The components that cause breast development in mammals, for example, were thought to ...

The scientists have demonstrated for the first time in an animal model that small ribonucleic acid molecules, so-called microRNAs, also fulfil an important function in organ development. "This came as ...

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-funded studies of mammary gland development in laboratory rats fed blueberries or other foods of interest may aid breast cancer research. In an early study that ...

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) molecules may lead to early mammary gland development, which is linked to an increased risk of breast cancer, as per the study by Professor Isabelle Plante from the ...

Helsinki University research group used live tissue imaging for the first time to visualise the emergence of the mammary gland. Despite long-standing interest, the cellular mechanisms driving the ...
