• mammary epithelium exhibit precocious alveolar differentiation during puberty and pregnancy
|
• in culture, mammary epithelial cells from nulliparous 8 to 12 weeks old mice exhibit reduced capacity to form colonies but form larger colonies compared with wild-type cells
• transplanted mammary epithelial cells exhibit increased formation of ductal tree compared with wild-type cells
