Human milk-derived exosomal lncRNAs and mRNAs prevent the occurrence of NEC by promoting intestinal tissue proliferation and development, reducing intestinal tissue necrosis and epithelial injury, as well as reducing the severity of NEC through the JAK-STAT and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathways [95]. Here, SOAT1 is linked to necrotizing enterocolitis.
