Art and History
This page places the Biology of the Mammary Gland into a historical and societal
perspective. We feature classical papers that impacted on our understanding of mammary gland
biology. This page will also analyze societal perception of lactation, and in particular the role of
the Arts in portraying the fundamental basis of mammalian existence. If you would like to see any
particular research discussed and highlighted, and if you want to suggest specific pieces of art to
be purchased and exhibited in our Gallery please contact the
