A screening for judgment of drug administration to pregnant and lactation women

母乳喂养对婴儿和母亲都有很多好处。然而，如果母亲在怀孕和哺乳期间服用的某种药物影响了乳腺的特定功能，则可能会干扰最佳母乳喂养。因此，确定药物是否影响其功能是很重要的。我们在本研究中表明，使用MCF-12A的细胞培养模型可用于评估治疗药物对人类乳腺功能的影响。

Breastfeeding has many benefits for both infants and mothers. However, if one medication taken by mothers during pregnancy and lactation influences the specific function of mammary gland, optimal breastfeeding might be disturbed. It is therefore important to determine whether a drug influences its function or not. We show in the present study that our cell culture model using MCF-12A is useful to assess the effects of therapeutic drugs on the mammary function in human.
