Milk Task Force

About

Within the EV field, but also in dairy research, milk extracellular vesicles (EVs) are gaining attention for their role in inter-organism and inter-species communication. This stretches from fundamental research on the functional properties of EVs in breast milk or consumers milk, to clinical applications for various diseases.

Within the milk task force we aim to provide an analysis of the state‐of‐the‐art milk EV research and to discuss topics specific for milk EV research including milk collection, processing, storage, experimental design, reporting, standardization, and future directions.

We are currently establishing an active milk EV community by recruiting members for this task force and will later prepare a manuscript containing specific considerations for experimental guidelines and reporting on milk EVs.
