A lifeline for premature born babies: Funding announced for new stem cell research

(RMIT University) A new therapy being developed by a group of researchers from across the globe aims to see if stem cells can be used to regenerate the brain damage caused by premature birth. This brain damage is called 'encephalopathy of prematurity' (EOP). The European research project, which is called PREMSTEM, has received € 9M in funding from the European Union's prestigious Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme.
