Clinical evidence indicates that MFGM supplementation during the critical window of early brain development supports multiple aspects of cognitive development, including executive function, language skills, motor performance, IQ, behavioral and emotional regulation. Taken together, the overall pattern of findings is broadly consistent with those reported for breastfed infants and is more favorable than standard formula, with effects persisting into later life. These findings support that aligning infant nutrition more closely with the functional components of human milk may represent a practical strategy to enhance neurodevelopment in formula-fed infants.

​Acute lower respiratory tract infections caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are a leading cause of hospitalization in young children. In Hong Kong, RSV is the primary driver of hospital admissions for children under 5 years old with respiratory viral infections, accounting for 50% of deaths in this age group. Among hospitalized RSV-infected patients, 39.4% required mechanical ventilation, while 21.1% needed inotropic support. Additionally, limited local epidemiological data further complicates this challenge.
