View article: Effects of Forming Lactoferrin–Milk Protein Complexes on Lactoferrin Functionality and Intestinal Development in Infancy
Effects of Forming Lactoferrin–Milk Protein Complexes on Lactoferrin Functionality and Intestinal Development in Infancy Open
Background/Objectives: Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding glycoprotein with multiple bioactivities, including promotion of cell proliferation and differentiation, immunomodulation, and antimicrobial activity. Lf, a basic glycoprotein, can…

Pre- and Postnatal Vitamin A Deficiency Impairs Motor Skills without a Consistent Effect on Trace Mineral Status in Young Mice Open
Pregnant women and children are vulnerable to vitamin A deficiency (VAD), which is often compounded by concurrent deficiencies in other micronutrients, particularly iron and zinc, in developing countries. The study investigated the effects…

Effect of In Vitro Digestion on Bioactive Peptides Related to Immune and Gut Health in Intact Cow’s Milk and Hydrolyzed Protein-Based Infant Formulas Open
Background/Objectives: Human milk is the optimal source of nutrition and protection against infection for infants. If breastfeeding is not possible, standard and hydrolyzed infant formulas (IF) are an alternative. Extensively hydrolyzed IF…

Structure and function of fermentation-derived bovine lactoferrin produced from <i>Komagataella phaffii</i> Open
Bovine lactoferrin (bLf) confers significant functional benefits for human health, but low concentrations in milk and high cost of commercial production limit availability and thus product application. Precision fermentation offers a solut…

Effect of pH and protein composition on proteolysis of goat milk proteins by pepsin and pancreatin Open
The roles of protein composition, pH and enzymes in goat milk protein hydrolysis is still unclear and the proteolysis of low abundant goat milk proteins has received limited attention. The aim of this study was to study the impact of prote…

The role of orally ingested milk fat globule membrane on intestinal barrier functions evaluated with a suckling rat pup supplementation model and a human enterocyte model Open
Milk fat globule membrane (MFGM), the membrane surrounding secreted fat droplets in milk, contains components involved in a wide range of bioprocesses including cell proliferation and differentiation. The intestine is relatively immature a…

Lactoferrin and the lactoferrin–sophorolipids-assembly can be internalized by dermal fibroblasts and regulate gene expression Open
Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding multifunctional protein, mainly present in external secretions. Lf is known to penetrate skin and may thus exert its multiple functions in skin. Sophorolipids (SLs) are glycolipid biosurfactants, which h…
