Erythropoietin protects epithelial cells from excessive autophagy and apoptosis in experimental neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis.
Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating gastrointestinal disease of preterm infants.Increased intestinal epithelium Leather permeability is an early event in NEC pathogenesis.Autophagy and apoptosis are induced by multiple stress pathways which may impact the intestinal barrier, and they have been associated with pathogenesis of d
