Prematurity alters the progenitor cell program of the upper respiratory tract of neonates

Abstract The impact of prematurity on human development and neonatal diseases, such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, has been widely reported. However, little is known about the effects of prematurity on the programs of stem cell self-renewal and differentiation of the upper respiratory epithelium, wh...
