B-knob triggered microgels (BK-TriGs) are injectable, engineered hydrogel particles designed to safely reduce bleeding in infants undergoing surgery. By mimicking the mechanical properties of natural platelets and utilizing specialized amino acid sequences, these microgels facilitate efficient blood clotting tailored specifically to neonatal biology.

Even a mild, temporary lack of oxygen (hypoxia) in premature infants can significantly alter long-term brain development. This early disruption can permanently hinder cognitive functions such as memory, learning, and emotional regulation well into adolescence and adulthood.

#346 - CPAP with Purpose: Supporting Babies in the Delivery Room and the NICU (Part 1)

Hello friends 👋In this episode of The Incubator Podcast, we welcome Dr. Cindy McEvoy, Professor of Pediatrics and Director of Neonatal Research at OHSU, to discuss her work on the use of extended CPAP in preterm infants. CPAP has long been a cornerstone of neonatal care, but how long should stable infants remain on support? Dr. McEvoy shares findings from two randomized controlled trials that explored whether an additional two weeks of CPAP could promote lung growth and improve longer-term outc
