Study finds cytomegalovirus worsens NEC, a severe intestinal condition in premature babies, by increasing inflammation.
A new study shows that cytomegalovirus (CMV), a common virus, can worsen necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a severe intestinal condition in premature babies.
Researchers found that mice with CMV had higher rates of tissue damage and death compared to those without the virus.
CMV infection triggered pathways that increased inflammation and disrupted metabolism, boosting levels of the immune protein TLR4.
This could lead to new drug targets for NEC treatment.
