Breast milk contains stem cells (ScienceAlert)

Breast milk contains stem cells (ScienceAlert): "team cultured cells from human breast milk and found a population that tested positive for the stem cell marker, nestin. Further analysis showed that a side population of the stem cells were of multiple lineages with the potential to differentiate into multiple cell types. This means the cells could potentially be “reprogrammed” to form many types of human tissue."
