Bodo C. Melnik, MD, Professor of Dermatology and Senior Lecturer at the University of Osnabrück, Germany, has focused on translational and epidemiological milk research since 2009, when milk consumption was identified as an inducing agent of acne and other common diseases of Western civilization (PMID: 19243483 and 29241749). After characterization of milk as an endocrine activator of mTORC1 (26225961) and epigenetic regulator of postnatal programming and development (29221571;28933365), the impact of persistent milk and milk exosome signaling has been linked to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (25587719; 31827573), obesity (22523661), prostate cancer (22891897), and neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson´s disease (30602375).
