Mammary Research
The mammary gland is a dynamic organ that undergoes extensive morphological changes through development, puberty, pregnancy, lactation and involution. Maintenance of the mammary epithelium during all of these stages is via mammary stem/progenitor cells.
Below is a collection of resources to support your mammary research.
