## Abstract The signal transducer and activator of transcription (Stat5) funnels extracellular signals of cytokines, hormones, and growth factors into transcriptional activity in the mammary gland. Postnatal development and functionality of this tissue is synchronized with the reproductive cycle. C
Apoptosis plays important roles in mammary development from early embryonic formation of the mammary gland to the regression that follows cessation of cycling. The most dramatic occurrence of apoptosis is found during mammary involution. Most of the secretory epithelium in the lactating breast under
Protein kinases, the enzymes responsible for phosphorylation of a wide variety of proteins, are the largest class of genes known to regulate growth, development, and neoplastic transformation of mammary gland. Mammary gland growth and maturation consist of a series of highly ordered events involving
## Abstract Estrogens play a central role in the etiology of breast cancer, and results from observational studies and randomized trials have also implicated progestins. The effects of these hormones in the mammary tissue are exerted through binding with specific receptor proteins in the cell nucle
