Article Synopsis
- - Germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH) is a serious condition in preterm infants linked to blood vessel rupture in the brain, but the reasons behind this vulnerability are not well understood.
- - Research shows that microglia (immune cells in the brain) interact with developing blood vessels differently as the brain matures and their absence can hinder blood vessel growth in key brain areas.
- - In preterm infants with GMH, immune cells show abnormal activation, leading to inflammation and factors that compromise blood vessel integrity, suggesting that the immune response plays a crucial role in the development of GMH.
