DESCRIPTION: \n\nPhD Oral Defense of Benjamin Ponchon\, Department of Anima
 l Science\n\nThe transitions between lactation and dry periods constitute 
 a very critical phase in the reproduction cycle of dairy cows. After cessa
 tion of milking\, the mammary gland is highly susceptible to new intra-mam
 mary infections because of udder engorgement and milk leakage as well as a
  weakened immune system. In the absence of teat stimulation and udder empt
 ying\, the mammary gland regresses during a remodeling process known as in
 volution. This physiological event involves a decrease in milk component s
 ynthesis and secretion by mammary epithelial cells\, renewing of a portion
  of the mammary epithelium\, activation of different proteases and an incr
 ease in the permeability of tight junctions linking epithelial cells toget
 her. However\, the exact elements triggering involution are not fully eluc
 idated yet.\n\nEveryone in the McGill community is welcome to attend a PhD
  oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our Ph
 D candidates.\n\n \n\n \n
