The primary function of the female mammary gland is to produce and secrete milk for the nourishment of newborns. Additionally, an erogenous function exists for both the adult male and female mammary glands.[6] The mammary gland undergoes changes during both the menstrual cycle and pregnancy in pr...
The dilatations of the ducts form reservoirs for the milk during lactation. Synonym: lactiferous gland meibomian gland Long thin sebaceous glands aligned in parallel in a single row in the tarsal plates of the eyelids. They open along the inner free margin of the eyelid, and their lipid-...
Macrophages serve multiple functions including immune regulation, morphogenesis, tissue homeostasis and healing reactions. The current paradigm holds that mammary gland macrophages first arise postnatally during the prepubertal period from the bone marrow-derived monocytes. Here we delineate the origins of ti...
Using this method, it is possible to produce high levels of recombinant proteins in the milk of non-transgenic mammals during a complete lactation period. The method is scalable and enables sustained levels of expression to be achieved for periods of more than 100 days.SANCHEZ RAMOS, Oliberto...
In addition, pups from Sox10fl/fl mice did not survive the first 24 h post-birth unless fostered by control mice, confirming the inability of MMGs in adult Sox10fl/fl mice to properly produce milk. Overall, these data indicate that the effects of SOX10 loss affect multiple branching ...
On the other hand, it is well documented in cows (Castillo et al., 2005) and sows (Berchieri-Ronchi et al.–2011; Xie et al.) that oxidative stress occurs at late gestation and early lactation due to severe catabolic status. And oxidative stress was known to be strongly linked to prod...
The salivary glands of animals have great potential to act as powerful bioreactors to produce human therapeutic proteins. Human nerve growth factor (hNGF) is an important pharmaceutical protein that is clinically effective in the treatment of many human neuronal and non-neuronal diseases. In this st...
15, 27, 39, 64 Even mild dehydration in an infant can produce significant salivary stasis.39 Thirty-five percent to 40% of cases occur in premature infants,39 who demonstrate a greater propensity for dehydration than term infants. Unlike parotitis in the adult population, neonatal parotitis is ...
