Neuroprotective role of erythropoietin in neonates

Sandra Juul. J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med. 2012 Oct.

Abstract

This review summarizes target populations of neonates for which erythropoietin (Epo) neuroprotective therapy might be of benefit, and the mechanisms by which Epo functions as a neuroprotective agent. Potential risks of Epo are reviewed. Finally, the progression of Epo neuroprotection from preclinical studies to translational studies is discussed.
