What are the Challenges in Studying Apoptosis in Neonates?
Studying apoptosis in neonates poses several challenges. The neonatal immune system and metabolic pathways are still developing, making it difficult to extrapolate findings from adult models. Additionally, the ethical considerations surrounding neonatal research limit the scope of invasive studies. Despite these challenges, advancements in non-invasive imaging techniques and the use of animal models are helping to bridge the gap in our understanding.
