A new study led by Iowa State University researchers shows that the mammary glands of several other production animals – ...

When bird flu spilled over into dairy cattle last year, researchers discovered high concentrations of the H5N1 virus in the ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv preprint* server, researchers used lectin histochemistry to evaluate the in situ expression of influenza A virus (IAV) receptors in the bovine respiratory ...

Cows have entry portals for both human and bird flus. This new finding may mean that cattle could host both types of flus at once. The two viruses could then swap parts to create a new type of ...

In mammals, a mammary duct is present in order to produce milk. The mammary duct is an organ known as an exocrine gland, which is a type of gland that secretes a substance. The mammary duct is an ...

The discovery of bird flu in dairy cow milk highlighted a previously overlooked target for the H5N1 virus: mammary glands. A new study suggests it’s not unique to cows. An H5N1 virus isolated from an ...

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.

Mammary organoids derived from mouse embryonic stem cells could offer clues into mammary gland developmental origins and help researchers study breast cancer. “When we use embryonic stem cells, they ...

Research Assistant Professor of Developmental, Molecular and Chemical Biology, Tufts University All mammals have mammary glands that produce milk, a feature that has fascinated scientists for many ...
