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 ...

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 ...

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

Publication in Nature Cell Biology: researchers at the Université libre de Bruxelles, ULB define for the first time the mechanisms responsible for the mammary gland development. The mammary gland is ...

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 ...

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

Recently, we have identified a novel 1.8 kb human Notch4/Int3 RNA species (designated h-Int3sh). The h-Int3sh RNA encodes a protein that is missing the CBF1-binding region (RAM23) of the Notch 4/Int3 ...

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 ...

Despite long-standing interest, the cellular mechanisms driving the initiation of mammary gland development have remained elusive for decades, mostly due to technical limitations in studying dynamic ...

A new study finds that one of the toughest characters in the immune system, the macrophage, has a nurturing side, at least when it comes to guarding the developing breast. The study published online ...
