Mastitis, an inflammatory condition affecting more than 25% of breastfeeding women, is usually associated with reduced milk secretion, pain, and discomfort, which often leads to early cessation of breastfeeding. Although the etiology of mastitis is m...
PURPOSE: The Japanese Human Milk Study, a longitudinal prospective cohort study, was set up to clarify how maternal health, nutritional status, lifestyle and sociodemographic and economic factors affect breastfeeding practices and human milk composit...
Human Breast Milk (HBM) is a storehouse of micronutrients, macronutrients, immune factors, microbiota and numerous other bioactive macromolecules. Fulfilment of optimum nutritional requirements of more than 240 million malnourished infants worldwide ...
Human exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) begins during pregnancy and may cause adverse health effects in the fetus or later in life. The present study aimed to assess prenatal POPs exposure to Tanzanian infants and evaluate the distribu...

Breast milk is crucial for infant health, offering essential nutrients and immune protection. However, despite increasing exposure risks from nanoparticles (NPs), their potential infiltration into human breast milk remains poorly understood. This stu...
BACKGROUND: Breastfeeding rates remain below the globally recommended levels, a situation associated with higher infant and neonatal mortality rates. The implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) could help improve and increase breastfeeding rat...
Breast milk is essential for infant health, but the transfer of xenobiotic chemicals poses significant risks. Ethical challenges in clinical trials necessitate the use of in vitro predictive models to assess chemical exposure risks in breastfeeding i...

The human milk/plasma (M/P) drug concentration ratio is crucial in pharmacology, especially for breastfeeding mothers undergoing treatment. It determines the extent to which drugs ingested by the mother pass into breast milk, potentially affecting th...
This study develops a comprehensive framework that integrates computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and machine learning (ML) to predict milk flow behavior in lactating breasts. Utilizing CFD and other high-fidelity simulation techniques to tackle fluid...
