Abstract excerpt
Studies of C/EBPbeta-deficient mice have demonstrated a pivotal role for this transcription factor in hematopoiesis, adipogenesis, and ovarian function. Here we show that C/EBPbeta is also essential for normal development and function of the mammary gland. Ductal morphogenesis in virgin C/EBPbeta...
