Funded Activity Summary

Injury to the developing brain, whether sustained during pregnancy or at birth, is the underlying cause of many cognitive and motor disabilities, including cerebral palsy. This project will identify the cellular pathways that cause developmental brain injury in preterm and term infants, and then administer umbilical cord blood stem cells at different timepoints to assess their efficacy at reducing brain injury. This project will inform treatment with cord blood stem cells in high risk infants.
