Read More »Human milk exosomes and their microRNAs survive digestion
Human milk exosomes provide a natural means of genetic material transfer to infants; however, the effect of gastric/pancreatic digestion milk exosomes stability and their microRNA content is largely unknown. University of California, Davis researchers took a simulated gastric/pancreatic digestion protocol ...
