Pathogen-associated molecular patterns, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), bacterial or viral DNA, and some cytokines (i.e., IFN), induce polarization toward pro-inflammatory (M1-like) macrophages via STAT1, NF-B, and IFN regulatory factor transcription factor signaling, resulting in augmented pro-inflammatory cytokine production (e.g., IL6, IL1, IL8, IL33, TNF-, and IFN-1) [105,106,107]
Unlike larger proteins, they interact directly with receptors and pathways involved in healing, hormone regulation, immune function, and cellular communication

This vacuum makes subsequent draws harder because the negative pressure resists pulling the plunger back
Create opportunities for lots of skin-to-skin contact: Being close to your baby helps release oxytocin ("the love hormone"), which plays a key role in milk ejection during breastfeeding
