Mammary gland, milk-producing gland characteristic of all female mammals and present in a rudimentary and generally nonfunctional form in males. Mammary glands are regulated by the endocrine system and become functional in response to the hormonal change
Focuses on the notion of gauge symmetry and the fundamental physics in the book 'Fearful Symmetry: The Search for beauty in Modern Physics,' by James Joyce. Onset of potential fertility; Sexual dimorphism in human breast; Significance of gluteofemoral region in women.Zee...
Evaluation of similar life stages demonstrates the similarities and differences between the rat and mouse mammary glands and the human breast. In childhood, puberty, and adulthood, the mouse demonstrates a more simple ductal morphology (lacks buds and lobule development) than the rat and human. ...
Many cases are detected at a later stage when the area becomes inflammed secondary to ulceration and infection, especially in long‐haired cats. Although a solitary neoplastic mass may be the only tumor found, there is often severe dysplasia of the uninvolved mammary glands.10,25...
The mammary glands are specialized secretory structures derived from the skin. As the name implies, they are unique to mammals. The glandular portion is arranged in lobules comprised of branched tubules, thelobuloalveolar ducts, from which multiple evaginations oralveoliemerge in an arrangement resemb...
ObjectiveTo explore the effects of Taijiquan and yoga in nursing among females with hyperplasia of mammary glands.MethodsFrom January 2015 to December 2016, 64 patients with hyperplasia of mammary glands treated in Outpatient Department of Tangshan Gongren Hospital were selected by convenience sampling. ...
Abundant expression of a2V during lactation (Figure 1c) led us to further investigate the role of a2V in lactating mammary glands. a2V-KO mice had normal litter sizes and nursing patterns. However, the litters of a2V-KO mice had lower body weight than the litters of their WT counterparts...
The mammary glands of age-matched females with concomitant ablation of Rank appeared largely nor- mal, displaying a significantly lower number of MINs and no detectable carcinomas (Figure 1A-1C and Sup- plementary information, Figure S3). Quantification of branching points in whole mount staining...
We have presented a new syndrome with defects of the limbs, nipples, and mammary glands, which we have denoted “LMS.” The locus for LMS could be assigned to a restricted region on chromosome 3q27. The major differential diagnosis for LMS is probably the EEC syndrome. However, mammary glan...
Dmbt1 (deleted in malignant brain tumors 1) was identified as a candidate modifier gene within the SuprMam1 interval because it was differentially expressed in mammary tissues from BALB/c-Trp53+/− and C57BL/6-Trp53+/− mice. Dmbt1 mRNA and protein was reduced in mammary glands of ...
