MaGNet: A Mammary Gland Network for Breast Branching Analysis
MaGNet: A fast, image-based tool for mapping mammary gland branching Branching in tissues isn’t limited to trees. In female mammals, the mammary gland undergoes extensive branching after birth, during puberty and again in pregnancy as milk ducts grow and reorganize. Understanding this architecture is crucial because disturbances in branching have been linked to breast cancer…

MaGNet: Automated Mammary Gland Branch Analysis Tool
What MaGNet Is Branching is a fundamental biological pattern, shaping how organs grow and function. In the female mammary gland, ducts branch extensively during puberty and again in pregnancy to prepare for lactation. Disturbances in this architecture can be linked to cancer risk, but studying the intricate branching has long been a slow, manual endeavor.…
