In this episode of the Incubator: At the bench, we talk with, Dr. Augusto Zani, a pediatric surgeon scientist who discusses his work on fetal lung regeneration and the use of stem cell derivatives and extracellular vesicles for diagnostics and therapy. He shares his journey from surgical training to becoming a surgeon scientist and the challenges he faced along the way. Dr. Zani also explains his transition from studying necrotizing enterocolitis to congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and the unanswered questions in lung hypoplasia related to CDH. He highlights the importance of understanding the mechanisms behind these conditions and the potential of extracellular vesicles in promoting lung growth and regeneration. Dr. Augusto Zani discusses his research on congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and the potential use of extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a therapy. He also discusses the role of inflammation in CDH and how EVs have both regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. Dr. Zani also mentions the potential use of EVs in other pediatric surgical conditions, such as gastroschisis and spina bifida. He concludes by sharing his excitement about moving his lab to St. Louis Children's Hospital in the U.S.

In this episode, hosts Ben and Daphna cover a range of neonatal topics, starting with a review of recent research on mpox in pregnancy and neonates. They discuss a case report of neonatal mpox infection and review current understanding of risks, transmission, and treatment options.

The hosts then examine a study on vaccine administration in preterm infants, finding that giving multiple vaccines on a single day did not increase adverse events compared to spreading them out. They also explore research on iron deficiency in extremely preterm infants, which revealed surprisingly high rates despite supplementation, especially in formula-fed babies.

Other topics covered include PICU admissions of former NICU patients in the first two years of life, and innovative approaches to reducing non-actionable alarms in intensive care units.

The episode concludes with insights from Dr. Rivara's 24 years as a medical journal editor-in-chief, touching on key aspects of research publication.

Throughout, Ben and Daphna provide expert commentary on the clinical implications of these studies, making complex research accessible to listeners while emphasizing areas needing further investigation in neonatal care.
