“Maturational Changes in Integrins in the Vasculature of Germinal Matrix, Cortex and White Matter”

Dummula K, Xu H, Chua C, Vinukonda G, Zia MT and Ballabh P.

The objective of this study is to evaluate if there are regional differences in the expression of angiogenic integrins in developing human brain and if they vary as a function of gestational age. Integrins, having a role in the process of angiogenesis, can be potential therapeutic targets in the prevention of germinal matrix hemorrhage.

“Long-term Consequences of Germinal Matrix Hemorrhage in a Rabbit Pup Model”

Chua C, Chahboune H, Dummula K, Hyder F and Ballabh P.

Through this work, we sought to determine whether induction of moderate and severe IVH in the brain of premature rabbit pups could produce post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, white matter injury and gliosis. This study highlights a novel animal model of long term consequences of IVH, which can be used to evaluate strategies in prevention and treatment of post-hemorrhagic complications.
