Necrotizing Enterocolitis: State of the Art in Translating Experimental Research to the Bedside

This review examines experimental models used to study necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), from in vitro intestinal cell cultures and organoids to in vivo animal models. The article discusses how these research platforms have advanced understanding of NEC pathogenesis and informed development of preventive and therapeutic strategies for this high-mortality preterm intestinal disease.
