Abstract
This lecture will describe how the properties of heparin-binding EFG-like growth factor (HB-EGF) can be utilized to protect the intestines from necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), to augment the effects of stem cells in the treatment of NEC, and to improve the production of tissue-engineered intestine. It will also explore the role of the enteric nervous system in the development of NEC.Entities:
