Research project studying the role of human milk cellular components in infant health and the effects of hospital storage practices on these cells, aiming to improve outcomes for preterm infants.
Description
This project aims to examine how hospital storage practices impact the protective mechanisms of human milk cells and determine if milk cells are integrated as functioning cells in vital organs impacted by preterm birth. The research supports understanding mechanisms of protection in milk stem-like cells and aims to improve infant health outcomes.
