Mitochondria play a critical role in mediating cell death in both the adult and immature brain. The cyclophilin D mitochondrial membrane permeability transition pore is critical in adult ischemia, whereas in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury, mitochondrial permeabilization appears to be primarily Bax-dependent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of a cell-penetrating Bax-inhibiting peptide (BIP) on neonatal mouse HI brain injury.
