Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), an intestinal inflammatory disease affecting premature infants, is associated with low regulatory T (Treg) to effector T (Teff) cell ratios. We recently demonstrated that heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) deficiency leads to increased NEC development. Here, we investigated the effects of HO-1 on T-cell proportions in a murine NEC-like injury model. METHODS: Intestinal injury was...
