Bilirubin-induced immunostimulant effects and toxicity vary with neural cell type and maturation state

Hyperbilirubinemia remains one of the most frequent clinical diagnoses in the neonatal period. The increased vulnerability of premature infants to unconjugated bilirubin (UCB)-induced brain damage may be due to a proneness of immature nerve cells to UCB-t
