Maternal stress could leave epigenetic imprints on genes in the placenta associated with cortisol — a necessary hormone for ...

This mysterious organ has inspired lore and customs for centuries. We also don't know what's happening in normal placenta development. —Norah Fogarty, King’s College London The dearth of treatments ...

Preeclampsia, intrauterine fetal growth restriction, and other "great obstetrical syndromes" have been linked to disordered ...

Learn about our Editorial Policies. Approximately five days post fertilization (dpf), the blastocyst develops. The inner cell mass gives rise to the fetus, while the surrounding trophectoderm ...

Maternal stress could leave epigenetic imprints on genes in the placenta associated with cortisol—a necessary hormone for ...

If the development of blood vessels in the placenta is impaired, fetal growth retardation may result. Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the Mannheim Medical Faculty of ...

Maternal stress could leave epigenetic imprints on genes in the placenta associated with cortisol — a necessary hormone for fetal development — and this would affect the baby's development from very ...

Researchers identified genes that could explain why some assisted reproductive technologies, like IVF, carry a higher risk of growth and metabolic issues in offspring.

A signal that the body adds to an mRNA can disrupt placental development and lead to fetal growth restriction (FGR). In this condition, a fetus is smaller than expected for its age during ...
