Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Lauren Hittson Boal"
- Lauren Hittson Boal's research primarily focuses on the implications of maternal breast milk in the development and persistence of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN), particularly in relation to red blood cell (RBC) alloantibodies.
- One of her notable studies, published in April 2019, identifies various RBC antibodies present in maternal breast milk that may contribute to prolonged cases of HDFN, contradicting the typical expectation of antibody attenuation post-delivery.
- The study presents three clinical case reports that underline the relevance of breastfeeding in the context of HDFN, providing insight into the ongoing maternal-neonatal interaction concerning blood group alloantibodies.
