This award supports research on the role of gut microbiota-derived butyrate in modulating inflammation and improving neurological outcomes after neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, focusing on immune response and brain development.
Description
Research project to define how gut microbiota-derived butyrate modulates inflammation, enhances regulatory T cell maturation, and promotes anti-inflammatory microglial polarization to improve long-term outcomes after neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (nHIE).
