Defining the hormonal control of ductal development should facilitate a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying mammary gland tumorigenesis and provide the opportunity to further delineate the regulation ofductal development.
Alternative splicing to exon 11 of human prolactin receptor gene results in multiple isoforms including a secreted prolactin-binding protein.

The results indicate that the SC and MFG transcriptome are representative of MGT and LCMEC and can be used as effective and alternative samples to study mammary gland expression without the need to perform a tissue biopsy.
Diverse and Active Roles for Adipocytes During Mammary Gland Growth and Function
This article focuses on adipocytes as local regulators of epithelial cell growth and their function during lactation and suggests that adipocytes within the mammary fat pad may function differently from those in other fat depots.

Results support the conclusion that VEGF is differentially transcribed by specific cell types within the mammary gland, and that under hormonal regulation it functions in an autocrine/paracrine manner.

RNA extracted from the milk fat during lactation accurately portrayed the RNA profile of milk-producing mammary epithelial cells in a non-human primate, however, this sample type clearly requires protocols that minimize RNA degradation.
C/EBPβ (CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein) Controls Cell Fate Determination during Mammary Gland Development
- T. Seagroves, J. Lydon, R. Hovey, B. Vonderhaar, J. Rosen

The data suggest that C/EBPbeta may control cell fate decisions in the mammary gland through the appropriate temporal and spatial expression of molecular markers, such as PR, that induce the proliferation of alveolar progenitor cells via juxtacrine mechanisms.
