A qualitative evidence synthesis was conducted of peer-reviewed qualitative research published between 2013 and 2023.

We provide a comprehensive single-cell depiction of the neonatal immune system at birth across the spectrum of viable gestational age (GA), ranging from 25 weeks to term. A mass cytometry immunoassay interrogated all major immune cell subsets, including signaling activity and responsiveness to stimulation.
