Providing a potential treatment option to infants where there is none

Researchers recently created a mouse model to represent premature infants of very low birthweight and to find treatment options for GMH, which currently has no treatment and is often fatal or debilitating. By inhibiting the complement system at a specific site within the brain immediately after a hemorrhage, many of the permanent and temporary deficits that accompany hydrocephalus and stroke can be prevented, according to a new article.
