Description

The abstract shows FOXF2 is selectively downregulated after neonatal hyperoxic injury, but the upstream signaling pathways and molecular triggers responsible for this specific response are not explained. Understanding this mechanism could reveal therapeutic targets for preventing BPD-associated vascular dysfunction.
