  "summary": "Kynurenine pathway (KP) metabolite imbalance is implicated in perinatal brain injury, and KP metabolites are measured in human plasma and cerebrospinal fluid as markers of neuroinflammation. Methods validated in neonatal brain tissue or glial culture supernatant to the same standard are scarce, limiting comparisons across preclinical and clinical measurements. We optimised LC-MS/MS detection of…",
