The Cleveland Clinic describes the vital role of a healthy placenta. It's a temporary organ that forms in the uterus, or womb ...

A new study from the research team demonstrates how vitamin C helps offset decreased placental blood flow found in pregnant mothers who smoke. In their newest study published in Scientific Reports ...

In the case of placental insufficiency ... This zonation occurs in relation to the strength of the blood flow. What is the reason for this? Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation are ...

Marijuana also crosses the placenta and may affect placental blood flow. The most pressing concern in maternal marijuana use is an association with shortened gestation. Amphetamines also affect ...

By computationally replicating realistic placenta blood flow, Noelia Grande Gutiérrez of Carnegie Mellon University's Department of Mechanical Engineering is addressing this lack of data.

Fetuses with CHD show reduced placental blood flow, malperfusion defects, and impaired growth, affecting clinical outcomes.

In the case of placental insufficiency ... This zonation occurs in relation to the strength of the blood flow. What is the reason for this? Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation are ...

The team found that in the normally formed placenta, the activity of certain critical genes in the endothelial cells decreases from the maternal to the fetal side. This zonation occurs in relation to ...

By the beginning of the second trimester, the cytotrophoblast plug breaks down and parental blood begins to enter the intervillous space. As the pregnancy progresses, cytotrophoblast cells keep ...

In the case of placental insufficiency ... This zonation occurs in relation to the strength of the blood flow. What is the reason for this? Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation are ...

when a mother is carrying Rh-negative blood, while placenta and fetus have Rh-positive blood. Following this condition, during the first pregnancy and during delivery, contamination can occur ...

A computational model of the basic functional unit of the placenta enables researchers to simulate placenta blood flow, ...
