Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have discovered a new role for a molecule long associated with brain development: orchestrating the growth of mammary glands during puberty.

During lactation, the mammary gland undergoes significant structural and functional changes to produce milk, which is essential for neonatal nutrition and early immune development. Traditional ...

A new study finds that one of the toughest characters in the immune system, the macrophage, has a nurturing side, at least when it comes to guarding the developing breast. The study published online ...

Regulatory genes control normal and unhealthy development in mammals. Among these are miRNAs, but few have been linked explicitly to a resulting physiological process. A new study appeared online in ...
