Scientists probe immune cell secrets to unravel deadly infant gut disease
NCT ID NCT00747851
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study looks at how immune cells from premature babies respond to certain signals that may lead to a severe gut disease called NEC. Researchers will collect blood from the umbilical cord of both premature and healthy full-term newborns to study their immune cells in the lab. The goal is to understand why some premature babies get NEC, not to test a new treatment. About 388 infants will take part.
