Overview

Barbara S. Stonestreet is affiliated with Brown University in the United States and has a significant body of research primarily within the field of Medicine. Their scholarly work spans across several subfields including Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health, Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, Neurology, Molecular Biology, and Immunology. This diverse set of specialties reflects a multidisciplinary approach to medical research.

The primary focus of their research relates to neonatal and fetal brain pathology, with 40 publications addressing this subject. Additional key research topics include neonatal respiratory health, traumatic brain injury and neurovascular disturbances, neuroscience of respiration and sleep, anesthesia and neurotoxicity, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms, and mitochondrial function and pathology. These areas highlight a strong interest in developmental and acute brain conditions, as well as respiratory and neurobiological interactions.

Among their recent papers, several contributions stand out in respected scientific venues:

  • Hypoxic-ischemic-related cerebrovascular changes and potential therapeutic strategies in the neonatal brain (2020, Journal of Neuroscience Research)
  • Lipopolysaccharide-induced changes in the neurovascular unit in the preterm fetal sheep brain (2020, Journal of Neuroinflammation)
  • Exogenous inter-α inhibitor proteins prevent cell death and improve ischemic stroke outcomes in mice (2021, Journal of Clinical Investigation)
  • Novel Neuroprotective Agents to Treat Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy: Inter-Alpha Inhibitor Proteins (2020, International Journal of Molecular Sciences)
  • Brain organoids for hypoxic-ischemic studies: from bench to bedside (2023, Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences)

Their research has been published predominantly in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, with five publications. Other frequent publication venues include Experimental Neurology and Neurotherapeutics, each with three papers, as well as Journal of Perinatology and Journal of Neuroscience Research.

Barbara S. Stonestreet collaborates regularly with a network of coauthors including Xiaodi Chen, Yow-Pin Lim, Clémence Disdier, Richard Tucker, and Joseph Qiu. This indicates active engagement with multiple researchers contributing to their fields of study.
