Placental epigenetic signatures of maternal distress in glucocorticoid-related genes and newborn outcomes: A study of Spanish primiparous women. European Neuropsychopharmacology , 2025; 90: 36 DOI ...

Villous and extravillous trophoblast (EVT) development and/or function may be impaired in the preclinical stage, most extensively in preterm preeclampsia associated with fetal growth restriction. The ...

The placenta is an amazing structure ... with chorionic villi extending into them. Maternal and fetal cells intermingle in the maternal side of these spaces and the umbilical cord is formed ...

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 ...

Objectives We have previously established a method to measure transfer of nutrients between mother, placenta and fetus in vivo. The method includes measurements of maternal and fetal blood flow by ...

increased placental maternal vascular malperfusion (MVM) defects, and impaired growth. This prospective case-control study investigated the relationship between placental blood flow, placental ...

Introduction: The immune compartment within fetal chorionic villi is comprised of fetal Hofbauer cells (HBC) and invading placenta-associated maternal monocytes and macrophages (PAMM). Recent studies ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dystocia may occur with maternal or fetal causes. Maternal causes include primary uterine inertia, birth canal obstruction, ...
