A Molecular Assessment of the Consequences of Preterm Birth
Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Preterm birth is now the world's leading cause of newborn deaths and often leads to serious life-long health problems in survivors. This project will identif the underlying molecular mechanisms causing both short- and long-term consequences of prematurity. The results will enable the development of better treatment methods for survivors of prematurity, and may lead to new therapeutic approaches for the implicated childhood- and adult-onset disorders even in individuals born at term.
