Journal ArticleDOI
Anatomy of the human mammary gland: Current status of knowledge
TL;DR: The current status of knowledge of the normal macro‐ and micro‐anatomy of the human mammary gland and the distinct changes it undergoes during the key developmental stages that characterize it are presented, from embryonic life through to post‐menopausal age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tongue movement and intra-oral vacuum in breastfeeding infants
TL;DR: Ultrasound imaging demonstrated that milk flow from the nipple into the infant's oral cavity coincided with both the lowering of the infants tongue and peak vacuum, suggesting vacuum is likely to play a major role in milk removal from the breast.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frenulotomy for Breastfeeding Infants With Ankyloglossia: Effect on Milk Removal and Sucking Mechanism as Imaged by Ultrasound
TL;DR: Infants with ankyloglossia experiencing persistent breastfeeding difficulties showed less compression of the nipple by the tongue postfrenulotomy, which was associated with improved breastfeeding defined as better attachment, increased milk transfer, and less maternal pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
MicroRNAs in Breastmilk and the Lactating Breast: Potential Immunoprotectors and Developmental Regulators for the Infant and the Mother
TL;DR: Evidence of endogenous synthesis of HM microRNA within the human lactating mammary epithelium will form the basis for investigations of the role of microRNA in the epigenetic control of normal and aberrant mammary development, and particularly lactation performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cells in Human Milk State of the Science
TL;DR: This review summarizes the current knowledge of breast milk cellular heterogeneity and discusses future prospects and potential applications.
