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
