Transcriptomic analysis defines gestation-specific programs of fetal liver maturation in premature sheep

Fetal liver maturation is essential for postnatal metabolic, synthetic, detoxification, and immune function. Disruption of this process by preterm birth contributes to hypoglycemia, impaired detoxification, and immune immaturity. However, the transcriptional programs associated with hepatic maturation during mid-to-l...
