Comparison of methods for pre-processing, exosome isolation, and RNA extraction in unpasteurized bovine and human milk.

Milk is a highly complex, heterogeneous biological fluid that contains non-nutritive, bioactive extracellular vesicles called exosomes. Characterization of milk-derived exosomes (MDEs) is challenging due to the lack of standardized methods that are currently being used for milk pre-processing, stora...
