The milk-producing structures, called Terminal Ductal Lobular Units (TDLUs), serve as the functional units of the human milk factory. Shown here is a section of #breast tissue stained with carmine alum, highlighting the epithelial structures of the mammary gland. Truly #fascinating! #Science

#Breast picture of the day or should I say painting?
Here's a 3D reconstruction of the human breast rendered into an artistic painting using AI tools! It really does look like something that belongs in a modern gallery. #Science #Art

This week’s 3D reconstruction of the human #breast highlights the #myoepithelial cells- the contractile cells that help squeeze the milk-producing luminal cells to release milk and nourish offspring. Truly fascinating! #Science #Art

Turning my Bluesky profile into a merge of #science 🔬 and #art 🎨: an exhibition featuring the beauty of the #breast through #microscopy. Starting with one of my favorites: 3D reconstruction of the human breast; Staining: Smooth muscle actin; Cells: Myoepithelial cells.
