Fig. 1. Mammary gland development. (A) Schematic illustrating the
development of the mouse mammary gland. Each stage of the schematic is
accompanied by (B) matched timepoints of mammary glands in wholemount
preparations and (C) histological sections. Insets in the histological
panels show (from left to right) examples of immunohistochemistry for
smooth muscle actin to highlight the cap cells (puberty), PNCA to illustrate
rapid growth (pregnant) and TUNEL to illustrate regulated cell death
(involution).
