The Mouse Mammary Video

This video was produced at the University of California, Santa Cruz in a research laboratory working on the regulation of mammary development in the laboratory mouse. The video is intended to help researchers, who may be new to mammary gland research, master certain specialized surgical techniques, as well as acquainting experienced researchers with new or unfamiliar procedures. It also contains information on the development and lactation cycle of the mammary gland in mice, as well as tips on basic surgical techniques such as instruments, anesthesia, suturing, and shipping viable tissues.

The price for the 75 minute production is low, only $40 in the US, including shipping and handling-slightly higher for PAL and international orders. The video represents an entirely non-profit enterprise, being funded in part by a grant from the University of California, enabling us to keep the price remarkably low for a production of this type. Revenues in excess of post-production costs, if any, will be used to repay cost overruns during production, and to provide resources for future productions, if this proves to be useful.

For ordering information, and for more details about the video, please see: http://www.biology.ucsc.edu/mamvid

April 10,1999

The Laboratory of Genetics and Physiology is proud to announce the launching of the Web-based Histology Atlas. The Atlas will provide histological images and associated information. The goal of the Atlas is to disseminate high-resolution mammary gland histology images to researchers and educators around the world via the Internet. The project is a collaboration with the Center for Information Technology at the NIH. The project was sponsored by NIDDK and NCI.
