Epithelial apoptosis has a key role in the development and function of the mammary gland. It
is involved with the formation of ducts during puberty and is required to remove excess …

Inhibins are gonadal glycoprotein hormones whose main endocrine function is to inhibit
pituitary FSH secretion. In addition to testes and ovaries, other steroid-producing organs are …

Introduction Involution of the mammary gland is a complex process of controlled apoptosis
and tissue remodelling. The aim of the project was to identify genes that are specifically …

Introduction In order to gain a better understanding of the molecular processes that underlie
apoptosis and tissue regression in mammary gland, we undertook a large-scale analysis of …

Mammary gland development is controlled by a dynamic interplay between endocrine
hormones and locally produced factors. Biogenic monoamines (serotonin, dopamine …

Jak2 is a hormone-receptor-coupled kinase that mediates the tyrosine phosphorylation and
activation of signal transducers and activators of transcription (Stat). The biological …

Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) are latent cytoplasmic
transcription factors that are activated and translocated into the nucleus after …

Deregulation of Notch signaling, which normally affects a broad spectrum of cell fates, has
been implicated in various neoplastic conditions. Here we describe a transgenic mouse …

Members of the signal transducers and activators of transcription (Stat) family regulate
essential cellular growth and survival functions in normal cells and have also been …

In ruminants, both milking frequency and exogenous GH treatment affect milk production. In
a previous report, we showed that the modulation of milk yield due to variations in milking …
