Human milk has long been recognized for its critical role in infant and maternal health. In this issue of Cell Genomics, Johnson et al. apply a human genetics and genomics approach to shed light on the complex relationship between maternal genetics, milk variation, and the infant gut microbiome.

Background/objectives: Although approximately 160 human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) have been identified, current studies on HMO quantitation are limited to the 10-19 most abundant HMOs. We assessed the variations in the relative concentrations of 71 HMO structures over lactation in human milk samples by an advanced liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry approach.
Methods: Samples were collected from 64 mothers at 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months of lactation in the Ulm SPATZ Health Study, a German birth cohort.

The present study proposes an L-shaped coplanar strip dipole antenna for sensing the presence of adulterants in liquid food samples. The proposed antenna dimensions are optimized using ANSYS HFSS, and a prototype is fabricated and validated. The sensing region is optimized based on the current distribution and measured reflection coefficients.

The calcium requirements of dairy cows increase dramatically soon after calving, and many cows have subclinical hypocalcemia, adversely affecting health and performance. Traditional laboratory tests for calcium are complex and not easily adapted to rapid point-of-care applications. The objectives were to evaluate a portable iCa testing device, Horiba LAQUAtwin Ca-11C, for measuring ionized calcium (iCa) in the whole blood of dairy cows and to investigate the iCa-to-total-calcium (tCa) ratio in blood collected from dairy cows within 9 days after calving.

Besides their nutritional role, proteins are recognized for their ability to regulate both short- and long-term energy homeostasis. However, studies investigating the effects of proteins based on their quality and origin remain limited and often lack comparability. Nonetheless, existing research consistently underscores the influence of proteins on food intake regulation.

Background: Ruminant milk is a very complex table food and naturally encrypted with different components possessing various health-promoting characteristics.
Aim: In the present study, we focused on breed-wise compositional difference in milk including various components and release of fatty acids and peptides during digestion.
Methods: First, milk samples were analysed using lactoscan LW milk analyser, MALDI-TOF and gas chromatography.
