The demand for high-quality milk is increasing worldwide. The efficiency of milk synthesis
can be improved by taking advantage of the accumulated knowledge of the transcriptional …

To understand the evolutionary forces that have shaped primate lactation strategies, it is
important to understand the proximate mechanisms of milk synthesis and their ecological …

Background The molecular events associated with regulation of milk fat synthesis in the
bovine mammary gland remain largely unknown. Our objective was to study mammary …

A crucial role for both insulin and mTOR in the regulation of milk protein synthesis is
emerging. Bovine mammary biopsies harvested during late-pregnancy through end of …

Background Cow milk is a complex bioactive fluid consumed by humans beyond infancy.
Even though the chemical and physical properties of cow milk are well characterized, very …

Aware of the important benefits of human milk, most US women initiate breastfeeding but
difficulties with milk supply lead some to quit earlier than intended. Yet, the contribution of …

Systematically investigating the scores of genes mutated in cancer and discerning disease
drivers from inconsequential bystanders is a prerequisite for precision medicine but remains …

Abstract Background The newly assembled Bos taurus genome sequence enables the
linkage of bovine milk and lactation data with other mammalian genomes. Results Using …

In current dairy production systems, an average of 25% of dietary N is captured in milk, with
the remainder being excreted in urine and feces. About 60% of total N losses occur …

Lactation, an important characteristic of mammalian reproduction, has evolved by exploiting
a diversity of strategies across mammals. Comparative genomics and transcriptomics …
