Summary

This study tests whether tiny particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs) from donor human milk can prevent necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a serious gut condition in very premature babies. Twenty preterm infants born before 32 weeks will receive oral EV supplements during their NICU stay. Researchers will check for safety, feeding tolerance, and growth to see if this natural approach can protect fragile intestines.
