It’s #WorldPrematurityDay2020 and we've dug out our finest purple to mark the occasion! We're celebrating the millions of babies #borntoosoon around the world, and applaud all of the wonderful people caring for them💜#premstem

Dr Daan Ophelders is a postdoctoral research fellow at Maastricht UMC+ focused on the improvement of neurodevelopmental outcomes for #neonates suffering from perinatal brain injury. Thank you Daan for the important work you're doing for #premstem! ➡️premstem.eu/2020/11/25/daa…

All small gesture with a tremendous impact! Support our mission to give vulnerable preterm infants the healthy future they deserve. #GivingTuesday2020 #prematurity #neonatology hfl.digicollect.nl/daan-ophelders…

Good to see Iconeus technology in the #premstem lab at @MaastrichtU! Using functional #ultrasound, the machine can measure #brain activity and blood vessels non-invasively. Great to see you together Marc Gesnik, Tim Wolfs, Daan Ophelders, Flora Faure! ➡️ premstem.eu/research-overv…

As #2021 draws to a close, #premstem Project Coordinator PGressens from Inserm has reflected on some of the #highlights of the second year of the project. We'd also like to wish everyone a very #HappyNewYear! ➡️ premstem.eu/2021/12/01/end…

#premstem and @MaastrichtU researcher Tim Wolfs was interviewed for #WorldPrematurityDay: "In our lab we don't focus on one organ but examine the #preterm baby as a whole. We hope to create 'risk profiles' to predict, limit and prevent complications". ➡️ mumc.nl/actueel/onze-v…

We're excited to see what the #newyear brings for #premstem! 🧠 Thanks to funding from Horizon Europe 🇪🇺 #H2020 our international #research team is developing a #stemcell therapy to repair #brain damage caused by #preterm birth. Watch our #video to learn more! youtu.be/V6Ra5AgQ4Qw

Vandaag lanceren wij ons kinderziekenhuis! Ben je benieuwd wat de naam wordt? Die maken we vanmiddag om 17.00 uur bekend tijdens een heus kindergala voor onze patiënten, Iedereen kan meekijken, volg vanaf 16.30 uur de livestream: youtube.com/watch?v=My9X3n…

#premstem's currently running a small number of 1-1 interviews and as part of these discussions, we're hoping to talk to a #parent of a child born #preterm who was offered a clinical trial for their child but chose not to take part, no matter the reason. (1/4)

New paper co-written by #premstem researchers at @MaastrichtU and Radboudumc "Umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells induce a memory phenotype in CD4+ T cells" looks at the long-term in vitro effect of #stemcells from umbilical cord tissue on T cells. ➡️ premstem.eu/publications/

A great day in Maastricht for #premstem's annual meeting! Thanks to all those who joined online and in person to hear the latest progress in the project and to the Maastricht UMC+ team for hosting! Summary of the meeting coming soon to our website. ➡️ premstem.eu

The #premstem team's proud to support #WorldPrematurityDay2023 and help raise awareness of preterm birth. Visit our site to learn key facts and read about our research into a treatment for brain injury linked to being #borntoosoon ➡️ premstem.eu/preterm-birth/ #WPD2023 #KangarooCare

#premstem #researchers presented at the 14th Hershey Conference on Developmental Brain Injury in June which focussed on perinatal brain injury including neuroprotection and long-term outcome. Congratulations to organisers and hosts Henrik Hagberg and Carina Mallard Göteborgs universitet / University of Gothenburg.

📢 Call for abstracts: Give a talk or present a poster at the #premstemconference! We're seeking submissions related to topics such as cell based therapies in animal studies, medical imaging, #stemcell alternatives and pre-clinical research translation. ➡️ premstem.eu/premstem-confe…

Today we met online to discuss operational items and the planning of the #premstemconference (13-15 May, Barcelona). Registrations and abstract submissions are now open! Head to the #premstem website for details ➡️ premstem.eu/premstem-confe…

We've extended the abstract submission deadline! You now have till 19 February to submit an abstract for the #premstemconference in Barcelona. Details of topics and how to submit here ➡️ premstem.eu/premstem-confe… #callforabstracts #neonatology #stemcells #medicalimaging #premstem

"A challenge in the clinical translation of mesenchymal #stemcell therapies is a lack of understanding of where they go in the body. We administer MSCs labelled with gold nanoparticles in vivo to see the distribution." #premstem PhD student Lotte Smeets ➡️ premstem.eu/2024/02/14/lot…

On day two of the #premstemconference we heard 16 presentations over four sessions, covering #research on a range of topics, including data from the #premstem labs. Thank you to all of today's speakers for sharing your work and provoking interesting discussions. See you tomorrow!
