Article Synopsis
- The mammary gland experiences significant structural and compositional changes throughout a woman's life, mainly influenced by hormones and environmental factors, including phases like pregnancy and menopause.
- Research using rodent models has been helpful in understanding these processes but doesn't completely represent human development, leading to interest in using rabbits as alternative models due to their similarities to human mammary biology.
- A new methodology has been developed for preparing and analyzing rabbit mammary gland whole mounts, addressing the technical challenges of thicker tissue and paving the way for better research on mammary gland growth and the impacts of hormonal or toxicant disruptions.
