Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Jessica M Povroznik"
- Jessica M Povroznik's recent research primarily focuses on neonatal immunity, particularly the role of interleukin-27 (IL-27) in modulating immune responses and its implications for diseases like tuberculosis and sepsis in newborns.
- Findings from her studies suggest that elevated IL-27 levels in neonates contribute to impaired immune functions, leading to reduced efficacy of vaccines like BCG and increased susceptibility to infections and sepsis.
- Additionally, her research highlights the impact of maternal factors, such as opioid exposure during pregnancy, on the neonatal immune profile, indicating a need for further investigation into maternal health and its effects on infant immunity.
