Time dynamics of activated caspase 3 mRNA and other markers of functional (i.e., fully differentiated) mammary gland during the breast development and differentiation in pregnant mice. Number of knots in cubic splines is equal to number of points that mark the beginning and the end of different stages in mouse mammary gland growth and differentiation during pregnancy, that is, 6 knots were used to fit the splines. Green dashed line marks the period of ductal morphogenesis and alveolar buds formation, red dashed line marks the period of secretory differentiation and purple line marks the period of peak differentiation
