Research Project:
MANIPULATION OF MAMMARY STEM CELLS TO IMPROVE MILK PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY
Location: Bovine Functional Genomics
Project Number: 1265-32000-083-06
Project Type:
Reimbursable
Start Date: Jan 01, 2008
End Date: Dec 31, 2011
Objective:
Develop strategies that promote cell proliferation and replacement in the bovine mammary gland, in order to increase lactational productivity and efficiency.
Approach:
We propose to accomplish the research objective by utilizing and extending current knowledge of mammary stem cell biology. Our specific aims are to manipulate mammary stem cell activity to enhance the growth of mammary epithelium and promote the replacement of senescent cells.
