Human Milk Glycomics
Human Milk Glycomics is the study of the carbohydrates (glycans), proteins and lipids in human milk - their structure and function. It is an important field of research that aims to understand the health and nutritional benefits of breastfeeding for infants and mothers. This research has implications for the development of infant formula products, which could benefit from the addition of components found in human milk, as well as provide insight into possible causative factors of infant illnesses. Improved understanding of the components of human milk could lead to the development of better, healthier infant feeding options, which could have a positive impact on global health and well-being.
