Because mammary gland tumors are one of the most common tumors in most strains of aging rats 1, we considered mammary gland neoplasia to be the most likely diagnosis, even though the affected rat ...

Prolactin affects the mammary glands and helps women make breast milk. Sometimes, a tumor grows on the pituitary gland and makes too much prolactin. This kind of tumor is called a prolactinoma.

What Is Invasive Lobular Carcinoma? Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is a type of breast cancer. It begins in lobules — the cells of the mammary glands that make milk — and spreads to other ...

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 ...

Immune cells infiltrate the aging tissue, but instead of protecting against cancer, these cells are ... and chromatin accessibility in the mammary gland, which refers to how tightly or loosely ...

Our laboratory’s research is based upon the philosophy that it necessary to first define the mechanisms regulating normal mammary gland development in order to understand the alterations in breast ...

Researchers frequently use organoids derived from mammary glands and tumors to study breast cancer, but they have previously been unable to generate models for the development of mammary tissue. Using ...

Research in the Lewis lab is focused on the genetic regulation of mammary gland development and early-stage breast cancer. Early detection of breast cancer is widely recognized as a key to effective ...

Canine mammary tumors are the most frequently observed cancer in female dogs, with an incidence that rivals the prevalence of breast cancer in humans. These ...

Following a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Cancer Institute at NIH, she led mammary gland biology and breast cancer research at the University of Vermont, with dual appointments in the ...

Breast cancer is characterized by changes in cellular ... Figure 3: The normal mammary gland as a mechanically active tissue. The crucial role of matrix compliance in MEC morphogenesis was ...
