Pulmonary microvessel density in preterm infants challenges conventional angiogenesis theories

Pulmonary microvessel density in preterm infants challenges conventional angiogenesis theories. "Density-based morphometric studies have demonstrated decreased capillary density in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and in BPD-like animal models, leading to the prevailing view that microvascular development is disrupted in BPD," according to scientists in the United States. M.E. De Paepe and colleagues, Brown University, conducted research "to perform a comprehensive analysis of the early and late effects of ventilation on pulmonary microvascular growth in preterm infants. Postmortem lung samples were collected from ventilated preterm...
