Session: Rapid Fire: Epigenetic Drug Targets and Epigenetic Modifiers
Prenatal E-Cigarette Use Disrupts Postnatal Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) Integrity and Worsens Ischemic Stroke Outcomes- Implications on Brain Drug Delivery
PhD Candidate Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Amarillo, Texas
In this presentation, the attendees will be able to understand how maternal e-cigarette exposure can disrupt blood-brain barrier integrity and induce inflammation in postnatal brain. The attendees will be also able to identify the motor and cognitive dysfunction in offspring associated with maternal e-cigarette exposure. Additionally, this presentation will help the attendee to understand the long-term impact of maternal e-cigarette exposure in postnatal ischemic stroke outcome at adulthood. Overall, this presentation will demonstrate the importance of considering this specific population (maternally e-cigarette exposed offspring) in cerebrovascular dysfunction and brain drug delivery.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, the partcipants will be able to identify maternal vaping as the risk factor for neonatal development.
Upon completion, the partcipants will be able to understand the long-term impact of maternal vaping on postnatal blood-brain barrier integrity.
Upon completion, the partcipants will be able to understand the long-term impact of maternal vaping on postnatal motor, learning and memory function.
Upon completion, the partcipants will be able to understand the long-term impact of maternal vaping on ischemic stroke outcome.
