However, it is more than just “milk”. This dynamic and bioactive fluid allows mother–infant signalling over lactation, guiding the infant in the developmental and physiological processes. It exerts protection and life-long biological effects, playing a crucial role in promoting healthy growth and optimal cognitive development. The latest scientific advances have provided insight into different components of human milk and their dynamic changes over time. However, the complexity of human milk composition and the synergistic mechanisms responsible for its beneficial health effects have not yet been unravelled. Filling this knowledge gap will shed light on the biology of the developing infant and will contribute to the optimization of infant feeding, particularly that of the most vulnerable infants. Greater understanding of human milk will also help in elucidating the best strategies for its storage and handling. The increasing knowledge on human milk’s bioactive compounds together with the rapidly-advancing technological achievements will greatly enhance their use as prophylactic or therapeutic agents. The current Special Issue aims to welcome original works and literature reviews further exploring the complexity of human milk composition, the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects associated with breastfeeding, and the factors and determinants involved in lactation, including its promotion and support.high pressure processinglipidssupplementationprotective factorsinfantcarbohydratemothersantioxidant capacityproteinfatcytokinesbioactive factorslate pretermzincinfantsdocosahexaenoic acid (DHA)pregnancyeicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)Lipidomicsmagnesiumomega-3 fatty acidsvitamin D deficiencyflow injection analysishuman milk benefitsmultiple source method3?-sialyllactose (3?SL)milk bankingmilk grouppasteurizationvideo instructionMilk Fat Globule Membranebile salt stimulated lipasebreastfeeding difficultiesbreastfeeding supportprematuritycarotenoidshormonesphosphocholineamino acidstargeted metabolomicshigh-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)cholineselenium?-linolenic acidarachidonic acid (ARA)docosahexaenoic acidhuman milk fortificationprotease inhibitorsceliac diseasecoppertermadipokinesiodinemammary glandnutritional statusfood frequency questionnaireneonateearly breastfeeding cessationprospective studybreastfeedingmothers' own milkdisialyllacto-N-tetraose (DSLNT)countrylactating womenundernourishmentproteasespretermexpressingdietary assessmentretinolbody compositionduration of lactationpassive immunization2?-fucosyllactose (2?FL)phosphorusclinical trialgrowth factorsinfant formuladigestive tracthuman milk oligosaccharides (HMO)sodiumnutritioneicosapentaenoic acidlipid metaboliteslactationnervonic acid?-tocopherolmacronutrientsglycoproteinterm infantterm infantsmaternal dietpromotion of breastfeedingpotassiumantioxidantsmaternal immunoglobulinsHuman Milkhuman milkPhospholipidsflu vaccinelactational stagelactosestoragedietary intakePreterm infantimmune-active proteinscolostrumhuman milk fatinadequate intakemilk therapyendogenous peptidecalciumfatty acidsbreast milkpumpingsecretorLC-MSn-9 fatty acidLewisdonor human milkantenatalonlineirongrowthdonor milkGianni Maria Lorellaauth1323396BOOK9910404077103321Human Milk and Lactation3035494UNINA
