The book's chapters are written by experts who are at the forefront of BPD research. Coverage includes chapters on exosomes, stem cells and miRs, as well as a section on new discoveries in BPD research with translational potential. This is a must-have reference for researchers, physicians and trainees working on BPD, lung developmental biology, and more.
- Includes discussions on which aspects of the bench research in Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia are the most promising areas
- Offers insights into the latest research being conducted that could potentially move to the bassinet (in the NICU)
- Contains evidence-based summaries and informed opinions about existing therapies
Researchers and physicians interested in diseases of the developing lung, including trainees (scientists doing their MS degrees, PhD-candidates pediatric residents and neonatal fellows)
