Abstract:

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) in human milk play a crucial role in infant development and health. These molecules are well-known to regulate gene expression and are involved in various biological processes. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on miRNAs in human milk and infant formulas, emphasizing their potential impact on infant health and the future directions for research in this field. Understanding the roles and functions of miRNAs for infants' health will not only disclose innovative aspects of breastfeeding, but it might pave the way for novel diagnostic and medicinal possibilities as well.

MicroRNAs

MicroRNAs

MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns (non-coding regions of a gene) or intergenic regions (stretches of DNA present between genes). Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself, forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After the pre-miRNA...

Anatomy of the Intestines

Anatomy of the Intestines

Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...
