Hyperoxia-activated circulating extracellular vesicles induce lung and brain injury in neonatal rats

Abstract Hyperoxia-induced lung injury plays a key role in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), characterized by inflammatory injury and impaired lung development in preterm infants. Although BPD is a predictor of poor neurodevelopmental outcomes, currently it is uncertain how lung i...
