Mammary gland development occurs in distinct stages starting in the embryo. However, the main part of this process proceeds in the adult female during pregnancy, which culminates in lactation when the ...

Research Assistant Professor of Developmental, Molecular and Chemical Biology, Tufts University All mammals have mammary glands that produce milk, a feature that has fascinated scientists for many ...

The discovery of bird flu in dairy cow milk highlighted a previously overlooked target for the H5N1 virus: mammary glands. A new study suggests it’s not unique to cows. An H5N1 virus isolated from an ...

An ongoing outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza has affected more than 184 million domestic poultry since 2022 and, since making the leap to dairy cattle in spring 2024, more than 1,000 ...

An Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai study sheds light on the intricate interplay between mammary adipose (fat) tissue and breast health, and offers exciting possibilities for understanding ...

Asta, the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher’s oldest Asian small-clawed otter, has been placed in palliative care as her ...

New research shows potential for H5N1 avian influenza to infect and spread within the mammary glands of pigs, sheep, goats, beef cattle, alpacas and humans. When bird flu spilled over into dairy ...

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 ...

A study conducted by Iowa State University researchers, in partnership with the National Animal Disease Center, suggests bird ...

A team of geneticists demonstrated that the emergence of mammary glands in placental mammals and marsupials results from recycling certain 'architect' genes. The latter, known as Hox genes, are ...

Mammary glands are the organs that, in the female mammal, produce milk for the sustenance of the young. These exocrine glands are enlarged and modified sweat glands and are the characteristic of ...
