The molecular physiology underlying human milk production is largely unknown because of
limitations in obtaining tissue samples. Determining gene expression in normal lactating …

Aware of the important benefits of human milk, most US women initiate breastfeeding but
difficulties with milk supply lead some to quit earlier than intended. Yet, the contribution of …

The molecular processes underlying human milk production and the effects of mastitic
infection are largely unknown because of limitations in obtaining tissue samples …

Background Studies of normal human mammary gland development and function have
mostly relied on cell culture, limited surgical specimens, and rodent models. Although RNA …

The objective of this study was to examine five different sources of RNA, namely mammary
gland tissue (MGT), milk somatic cells (SC), laser microdissected mammary epithelial cells …

Little is known of the molecular regulation of human milk production because of limitations in
obtaining mammary tissue from lactating women. Our objectives were to evaluate whether …

Background The molecular events associated with regulation of milk fat synthesis in the
bovine mammary gland remain largely unknown. Our objective was to study mammary …

Breastmilk is a rich source of cells with a heterogeneous composition comprising early-stage
stem cells, progenitors and more differentiated cells. The gene expression profiles of these …

The initiation and maintenance of lactation are complex phenomena governed by
biochemical and endocrine processes in the mammary gland (MG). Although DNA-based …

Mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary gland, is the most costly infectious disease of dairy
ruminants worldwide. Although it receives considerable attention, the early steps of the host …
