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: A New Tool for Mammary Gland Network Analysis
MaGNet: A new tool for quantifying mammary gland branching Branching is not just a feature of trees. In animal development, branching patterns organize how organs perform complex functions. In female mammals, the mammary gland undergoes extensive branching as ducts grow to ready the tissue for milk production. Disturbances in this branching process have been linked…
