✦ Synopsis

Abstract

DNA synthesis (LI) and mitotic activity (MI) were studied at different times of the day in the developing mammary gland end bud of the postnatal mouse. Both LI and MI displayed a clear diurnal variation. Animals studied at the middle of the 12‐hr dark cycle showed a LI 2.1–2.6 times that of the tissue from the middle of the 12‐hr light cycle. Intermediate values were obtained in tissue sampled midway between these extremes. Mitotic activity was studied 4 hr after the peak and trough of LI and exhibited a corresponding variation. These diurnal variations may be related to cyclic changes in secretion of pituitary hormones or other peptide growth factors, but variation between individual end buds in the same animal is more likely a result of morphogenetic interactions at the tissue level.

Background: The mammary gland is one of the few organ systems in mammals that completes its morphologic development postnatally. Due to this unique developmental property, it serves as an excellent model for studying ductal morphogenesis beyond embryonic life. The primary objective of this study was

## Abstract Mammary morphogenesis in the mouse is driven by specialized structures at the ends of the developing ducts, the terminal end buds (TEB).

## Abstract We have previously described pluripotent, parity‐induced mammary epithelial cells (PI‐MEC) marked by Rosa26‐lacZ expression in the mammary glands of parous females. PI‐MEC act as lobule‐limited epithelial stem/progenitor cells. To determine whether parity is necessary to generate PI‐MEC
