Abstract
Recent studies have revealed that human milk harbors stem cells at various stages of differentiation, including pluripotent stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells. The stem cellular components of human milk with high interindividual variability are affected by gestational age and lactation stages. The maternal stem cells which pass to the infant through human milk could help boost offspring growth and development. Human milk stem cell with multi-directional differentiation potential may be a new source of stem cell replacement therapy in the future. We hereby review the latest progress in human milk stem cells from these aspects. Key words: Milk, human; Stem cells; Child development
