Peter Vitiello, PhD – Thioredoxin-dependent Redox Signaling in Lung Development
Fetal transitioning from the relatively hypoxic in utero environment to an oxygen-rich atmospheric environment represents a significant oxidative burden on the developing lung. Preterm lungs are already deficient in antioxidants and are poorly equipped to deal with the oxidative transition during parturition even before considering the adverse effects of therapeutic oxygen (hyperoxia) to treat poor […]
