Abstract:
Stem cells are original undifferentiated biological cells that have multi-directional differentia-tion potential and self-reproduction ability.In recent years,the research on composition of breast milk suggests that a new type of cells exist in breast milk.They are able to differentiate into specialized cells and reproduce themselves.So,they are called"breast milk stem cells".Through breast feeding,these stem cells can enter a ba-by's body.They not only facilitate development of the baby's nervous system and other tissues and organs,but also provide regenerative medicine with a new treatment approach by virtue of its multi-directional differentiation potential.
