Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is still the most common challenge in preterm neonates. The authors found that reactive oxygen species and sCD146 are increased in preterm peripheral blood samples. They then show that the CD146-HIF-1α axis contributes to alveolarization and propose that CD146 may be a novel candidate in BPD therapy.
