Evaluation of Mammary Gland Development and Function in Mouse Models
Published on: July 21, 2011
Abstract:
The hormonal milieu of the host influences viral and chemical carcinogen-induced mammary tumorigenesis in a variety of indirect ways. The effects of a high-fat diet on mouse mammary tumorigenesis are very limited and are convincing only for ice infected by the high-oncogenic mammary tumor virus. The relationship between fat content in the diet, the hormonal milieu of the host, and mammary tumor virus function is unexplored.

02:43Mouse Models of Cancer Study
Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...
