Abstract:
BMECs (bovine mammary epithelial cells) have a special function of secreting milk. The proliferation and lactation of BMECs are mainly controlled by hormones and cytokines. This paper reviews the latest research progress and problems that need to be solved in the regulation of BMECs proliferation and lactation by lactation-related hormones and cytokines, so as to provide reference for the systematic study of BMECs proliferation and lactation regulation signal pathway in the future.
