Development of mammary luminal progenitor cells is controlled by the transcription factor STAT5A.

13 Oct 2009 Mammary alveologenesis is abrogated in the absence of the transcription factors STAT5A/5B, which mediate cytokine signaling. To reveal the underlying causes for this developmental block, we studied mammary stem and progenitor cells. While loss of ... Read more...

Mouse Mammary Epithelial Cells form Mammospheres During Lactogenic Differentiation.

4 Oct 2009 A phenotypic measure commonly used to determine the degree of lactogenic differentiation in mouse mammary epithelial cell cultures is the formation of dome shaped cell structures referred to as mammospheres. The HC11 cell line has been employed as a ... Read more...

Osteopontin: an early innate immune marker of Escherichia coli mastitis harbors genetic polymorphisms with possible links with resistance to mastitis.

16 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Mastitis is the most important disease in dairy cows and it causes significant lost of profit to producers. Identification of the genes, and their variants, involved in innate immune responses is essential for the understanding of this ... Read more...
