Abstract

As an important regulator in eukaryote, miRNAs could be in the animal body fluids, including serum, blood plasma, saliva, urine and so on. More recently, it was reported that miRNAs were also in the breast milk of human or cow, which indicates that miRNAs could probably be transferred into the body of the next generation by lactation and play their key roles. This might be the prelude of studies on the regulation function of miRNAs in generations. Here, we introduced the process of finding miRNAs in mammal milk, the format of miRNAs in milk and the method for isolating miRNAs, and reviewed the main functions of several miRNAs in milk. We also discussed the research task and challenge associated with miRNAs in milk at the next.
