It is made with cells from donated mothers' milk along with breast tissue.
The lab then grows those cells and incubates them in a reactor that mimics the environment found in a breast.

The women-owned company's co-founder said its product will nutritionally be more like human milk than formulas.
The company hopes it will be available in about three years.
