Amniotic fluid and breast milk: a rationale for breast milk stem cell therapy in neonatal diseases

Pediatric Surgery International

Abstract

Amniotic fluid and breast milk play important roles in structural development throughout fetal growth and infancy. Given their significance in physical maturation, many studies have investigated the therapeutic and protective roles of amniotic fluid and breast milk in neonatal diseases. Of particular interest to researchers are stem cells found in the two fluids. These stem cells have been investigated due to their ability to self-replicate, differentiate, reduce tissue damage, and their expression of pluripotent markers. While amniotic fluid stem cells have received some attention regarding their ability to treat neonatal diseases, breast milk stem cells have not been investigated to the same extent given the recency of their discovery. The purpose of this review is to compare the functions of amniotic fluid, breast milk, and their stem cells to provide a rationale for the use of breast milk stem cells as a therapy for neonatal diseases. Breast milk stem cells present as an important tool for treating neonatal diseases given their ability to reduce inflammation and tissue damage, as well as their multilineage differentiation potential, easy accessibility, and ability to be used in disease modelling.
