Mobilization of circulating progenitor cells following brain injury in premature neonates could be indicative of an endogenous repair process. A pilot study

Preclinical data and adult studies have showed an endogenous regeneration process following brain damage that involves mobilization of progenitor cells. This process is not well described in preterm neonates. The present study aims to investigate the mobilization of Circulating Progenitor Cells (CPC...

Description
Summary:Preclinical data and adult studies have showed an endogenous regeneration process following brain damage that involves mobilization of progenitor cells. This process is not well described in preterm neonates. The present study aims to investigate the mobilization of Circulating Progenitor Cells (CPCs) and their relation to biomarkers of brain injury in preterm neonates. This is a prospective cohort study of preterm infants with gestational age (GA)
