Our DOXIE trial showed a reduction in hypoxia with 100 percent oxygen during Deferred cord clamping without adverse effects (including <bpd)! @Ilcor_org @EBNEO @neosatyan @AAPneonatal @henryleeneo
Among preterm infants 22-28 weeks gestation, providing 100% oxygen during deferred cord clamping reduces early hypoxemia without increasing morbidity and mortality. ja.ma/3GXzPIP
Join Eric Peeples, Manon Benders, and myself at the @NewbornBrains #INBC2026 meeting in Naples, Italy, for a special Scientific Symposium on "Cellular therapies for neonatal brain injury". More information: mcascientificevents.eu/inbc/

New pre-clinical paper from our team led by @DrAbdulRazak_MD Persistent inflammation and white matter damage in the preterm brain: Insights from a novel ovine model of chronic inflammation sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Abdul won a @PASMeeting award for this study!

Our coordinator Pierre Gressens will present #premstem's experience of #cocreation at the joint symposium of @AusNZBrainClub & @Neo_CellTherapy. @BobbiFleiss will also talk about 'Mesenchymal cell therapy for perinatal asphyxia'. Join them in Australia ➡️ australasianbrainclub.com/meetings-and-e…
First developmental assessments from the world-first #CORDSaFe trial show no high CP risk in treated preterm babies—compared to 7% in controls. A promising safety signal for cord blood cell therapy. 🔗 read the full story : bit.ly/4lg8Xma 📰 read the publication :…
Is my baby getting enough milk? Engineer & new mum Dr Faezeh Marzbanrad has created Infafeed, an AI-powered device that tracks milk intake in real time. Developed with neonatologist @Atul_Monash, it’s a game-changer for breastfeeding support. 🔗 Read more bit.ly/3Gs73j9…
