The paper shows that boosting TCA cycle activity through nutritional strategies improves neonatal host defense against infection by enhancing disease tolerance and resistance.

This study shows that reducing glucose supply during infection improves survival in preterm infants by decreasing inflammation and maintaining normoglycemia, with liver involvement in these protective effects.

The paper identifies blood transcriptomic markers of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm pigs, showing up-regulation of PAK2 and other genes associated with NEC severity and bacterial infection.
