The mammary gland develops from the placode at ectodermal invagination. The rudimentary parenchyma (mammary bud) develops mammary trees and alveolar structures, suggesting that the mammary bud consists of stem/progenitor cells. Here, we established a clonal stem cell line from a mammary bud of a p53 null female embryo at day 14.5. FP5-3-1 line was a homogeneous cell population with polygonal epithelial morphology and spontaneously became heterogeneous during passages. Recloning gave rise to four sublines; three sublines have basal epithelial property and one subline has luminal epithelial property. The former sublines generate functional mammary glands when injected into cleared fat pads and the latter subline does not. The cell lines also express many stemness-related genes. The clonal cell lines established in the present study are shown to be mammary stem cells and not tumorigenic. They provide useful models for normal and tumor biology of the mammary gland in vivo and in vitro.

Mastitis is an uncommon but potentially serious infection in neonates. Characteristic findings include erythema, induration, and tenderness around the breast bud. Fluctuance and purulent drainage may be present with abscess formation.

Background: A high grain diet causes an ecological imbalance in the gut microbiota and serves as an important endogenous trigger of mastitis in dairy cows, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Our previous study revealed that subacute rumen acidosis (SARA)-associated mastitis has distinct metabolic profiles in the rumen, especially a significant increase in succinate, but the role of succinate in the pathogenesis of mastitis remains unclear.
Results: Succinate treatment exacerbates low-grade endotoxemia-induced mastitis in mice.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how exposure to the estrogen receptor (ER) agonist 17α-ethinyl estradiol (EE2) influences mammary gland development in mice during pregnancy and juvenile periods.
- Female mice were exposed to EE2 either during pregnancy and nursing, or only during the juvenile period, allowing researchers to assess the effects on both male and female offspring.
- Results showed that exposure timing affected the morphology of the mammary gland and other hormone-sensitive traits, highlighting the importance of understanding environmental estrogen exposure, especially in early life.

Background: Early diagnosis of neonatal osteomyelitis is often challenging due to the rarity of such cases and here we are presenting 2 case reports to add to the existing deficient literature: A 15-day-old male infant presented with swelling and pus discharge from the anterior region of the mandible. Repeated culture and sensitivity tests revealed a transition from disseminated methicillin-sensitive S. aureus sepsis to methicillin-resistant sepsis.

Background: Gynecological issues and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) pose significant challenges to women's health, particularly in developing nations. These challenges are exacerbated by limited access to modern reproductive healthcare facilities, economic constraints, and entrenched cultural norms. Consequently, most of the Pakistani population relies on traditional ethno-medicinal healthcare systems.
