This book is a compilation of manuscripts that encompass a breadth
of information from different species including rodents, dogs,
cows, goats, and sheep. Normal developmental processes are covered
and anatomical features are discussed, as well as the impact and
significance of environmental chemicals and epigenetics on the
mammary gland. In terms of disease states, cancer and mastitis are
the most impactful in the fields of human medicine and livestock
management, respectively, in the context of mammary gland biology.
Therefore, this book presents in depth analyses of these diseases
over several chapters and different model systems. Rodent and
canine cancer models are discussed, which are very relevant in
understanding the roles that genes and the environment play in
human breast cancer. In the livestock industry, mastitis in the
dairy sector has a deep economic impact globally, and results in
over a billion dollar loss annually. Several chapters are devoted
towards this disease in dairy cattle, sheep and goats, with an
underlying theme of generating newer detection strategies to detect
infections at an earlier stage. An up-to-date description of the
most important signaling pathways and mechanisms that impact both
development and disease are included. A gamut of sub-disciplines
are found throughout the book that covers the main aspects of
anatomy, physiology, cell biology, genetics, and molecular biology
in both development and diseases of the mammary gland.
