However, till date, none of the reports have specifically mentioned any bovine milk EVs-specific miRNAs and their plausible role in cross-species communication. In this study, we discovered 12 miRNAs unique to bovine milk EVs using a computational approach, and the selected miRNAs were found to affect 1933 human genes that are enriched in pathways linked to diseases like cancer. Likewise, the enrichment analysis of distinct clusters identified by the PPI network highlights the therapeutic importance of these unique miRNAs in cancer, inflammatory diseases, neurological disorders, and immunodeficiencies. Network analysis also identified key hub targets linked to pathways like HIF-1 signaling, cancer, etc. The findings suggest that the identified miRNAs and various biological pathways being regulated by them could provide valuable insights into the potential physiological functionality of bovine milk EVs and ultimately bovine milk in humans.

Key focus areas include the isolation of β-casein, α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin, lactoferrin, glycol-macro-peptides and milk oligosaccharides. The review discusses various membrane processes, including microfiltration, ultrafiltration, diafiltration, and their combinations, as applied to milk. Parameters such as membrane pore size, molecular weight cut-off, temperature, and process duration are discussed in relation to their impact on yield and purity. The integration of ultrafiltration with other techniques, such as ion-exchange chromatography and enzymatic hydrolysis, is also discussed. β-casein achieved up to 92.64 % purity and 18.07 % yield using cold microfiltration-diafiltration followed by warm ultrafiltration with specific membrane configurations. α-lactalbumin was obtained with purities exceeding 90 % through ultrafiltration combined with thermal precipitation or enzymatic hydrolysis. Lactoferrin yielded 94.20 % purity with high recovery using a two-step ultrafiltration process coupled with cation exchange chromatography. Ultrafiltration processes demonstrated potential for isolating milk oligosaccharides, though challenges such as low molecular weight differences with lactose reduced efficiency. Among all membrane techniques, ultrafiltration is a highly effective method for isolating and purifying bioactive compounds from milk.
