The ex vivo perfusion model of human placenta provides an important tool in exploring medicines for therapies of immunologic diseases. Existing antibodies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases ...

She hopes that these tools can one day help reveal how defects emerging early in development set the stage for placental diseases like preeclampsia. The uterine wall is home to glands, vessels, ...

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 ...

The new research project now aims to provide a holistic view of the significance of plastic particles during pregnancy. To ...

Medically reviewed by Lauren Schlanger, MD Lyme disease is spread through a tick bite. Lyme disease is not contagious or ...

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

For children and adults who are otherwise healthy, the disease is usually mild. But for people with a weakened immune system, ...

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

Researchers found 12 different types of plastic in placentae—with significantly higher levels in those from preterm births.

Brain injuries are a leading cause of death and long-term disability in infants. Among the most common is neonatal ...
