Funded Activity Summary

Exposure of babies to infection or inflammation before birth is common and is associated with preterm delivery and illness in newborns. The biggest problem for these babies is lung disease due to inflammation of the lungs before birth and/or in response to lung injury after birth. There is no treatment for the underlying inflammation and no way to prevent or treat the lung disease that it causes. This project will investigate a new stem-cell based treatment for lung inflammation that may prevent life-threatening lung disease in preterm babies.
