Study finds human breast milk accelerates corneal healing in animals, potentially leading to new treatments.

A study from the University of Colorado suggests that human breast milk can speed up the healing of corneal wounds in animal models. The milk increases re-epithelialization, a healing process, and boosts levels of Ki67, a protein in actively dividing cells. This could lead to new treatments for corneal injuries, though further research is needed to understand the specific healing components in breast milk.
