The gut is a pivotal organ in health and disease. The events that take place in the gut during
early life contribute to the programming, sha** and tuning of distant organs, having …

Mammary epithelial cells (MECs) are the only cell type that produces milk during lactation.
MECs also form less-permeable tight junctions (TJs) to prevent the leakage of milk and …

The mammary gland (MG) is a unique organ responsible for milk synthesis, secretion, and
involution to prepare the gland for subsequent lactation. The mammary epithelial cells …

Under normal conditions, the most significant expansion and differentiation of the adult
mammary gland occurs in response to systemic reproductive hormones during pregnancy …

During the perinatal period, the bovine mammary epithelial cells of dairy cows exhibit
vigorous metabolism and produce large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The …

Mastitis is an emerging health concern in animals. An increased incidence of mastitis in
dairy cows has been reported in the last few years across the world. It is estimated that up to …

This study attempted to establish a culture model to recreate the milk production pathway in
bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs). BMECs were isolated from Holstein cows …

Human milk (HM) is considered the most complete food for infants as its nutritional
composition is specifically designed to meet infant nutritional requirements during early life …

The production of antimicrobial components and the formation of less-permeable tight
junctions (TJs) are important in the defense system of lactating mammary glands and for …

In lactating mammary glands, alveolar mammary epithelial cells (MECs) produce milk and
form less-permeable tight junctions (TJs). However, alveolar TJs are weakened with a …
