6. Gene-chip studies provide new leads in treating lung disease of premature newborns
   10-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Some 20 to 40 percent of extremely premature infants suffer abnormal lung development leading to bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a chronic lung disease that can cause long-term breathing problems. Little is known about how to predict whether a premature infant will develop BPD in the weeks after birth, much less how to prevent or treat it. Now, gene-chip studies of these tiny babies’ umbilical cords provide unexpected, much-needed leads into predicting and treating this debilitating condition.

10. Different approach needed to protect brains of premature infants
    04-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
    A study of how the brain of a premature infant responds to injury has found vulnerabilities similar to those in the mature brain but also identified at least one significant difference, according to neuroscientists and neonatologists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. More than two percent of babies are born before the completion of their eighth month of gestation, and up to half of these infants suffer brain injury.
