PREMATURE BIRTH AND CESAREAN SECTION ARE ASSOCIATED WITH SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN NEONATAL CD4 <sup>+</sup> T CELL GENE EXPRESSION AND FUNCTION

2026-02-23

Abstract excerpt

Premature birth and cesarean section are associated with increased morbidity and inflammatory diseases. However, their impact on neonatal immunity remains incompletely defined. To explore how gestational age and mode of delivery contribute to early immune programming, we analyzed CD4 + T cells, central regulators of adaptive responses, from preterm neonates and full-term neonates born by cesarean section or vagin...
