Umbilical cord blood therapy modulates neonatal hypoxic ischemic brain injury in both females and males

Abstract Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that sex is a significant risk factor for perinatal morbidity and mortality, with males being more susceptible to neonatal hypoxic ischemic (HI) brain injury. No study has investigated sexual dimorphism in the efficacy of umbilical cord blood (UCB...
