Chorioamnionitis is a frequent cause of preterm birth and is associated with an increased
risk for injury responses in the lung, gastrointestinal tract, brain, and other fetal organs …

Advances in perinatal care have dramatically im-proved survival of extremely preterm infants
and the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has not changed over the past few …

Rationale: Mechanisms contributing to chronic lung disease after preterm birth are

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) increases the risk for bronchopulmonary dysplasia
(BPD). Abnormal lung structure has been noted in animal models of IUGR, but whether …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) prevent the onset of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in
animal models, an effect that seems to be mediated by their secreted extracellular vesicles …

Epidemiological studies have shown that maternal preeclampsia (PE) increases the risk of
bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), but the underlying mechanism is unknown. Soluble …

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a unique injury syndrome caused by prolonged injury
