Research project studying how chronic low oxygen affects brain blood flow regulation in newborns to find ways to prevent brain injury.
Description
This project investigates the impact of chronic hypoxia on cerebral autoregulation in newborns, focusing on mechanisms involving the TrpC6 ion channel and epigenetic regulators like microRNA-210. The research aims to identify therapeutic targets to prevent brain injury in vulnerable infants.
