The discovery of a gene essential to early embryonic development sheds light on the preliminary stages of human placenta formation. A team led by scientists from the University of California San Diego ...
Crosstalk between the embryo and the developing placenta relies on same signal for multiple messages
In mammals, signalling between the placenta and the embryo is essential for successful development. Here, a quantitative, time-resolved model describes the coordinated formation of the mouse embryo ...
A gene that turns on very early in embryonic development could be key to the formation of the placenta, which provides the developing fetus with what it needs to thrive during gestation. The placenta ...
A deficit in the way the placenta expresses the gene for a hormone called insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) appears linked to insulin resistance during pregnancy, researchers reported. Photo by ...
A patchwork of genomic differences in the placenta may explain the organ’s “live fast, die young” strategy and its connections to cancer. In 2008, while the medical resident Sam Behjati was doing his ...
Researchers lead a study showing the cellular detail of how the placenta changes during pregnancy. Early in pregnancy, something strange happens in the uterus: Cells from the fetal side of the ...
Scientists demonstrate the direct transmission of bisphenol A (BPA) from a mother to her developing child via the placenta could negatively impact fetal brain development. In a new study, scientists ...
A new study led by the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute has identified that a deficit in the placental expression of the gene insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGFBP1) and low IGFBP1 circulating ...
Letter: Prof Eric Jauniaux explains the causes of placenta previa and placenta accreta spectrum ...
The placenta has long been thought to produce serotonin during pregnancy. But in a new study, Yale researchers shatter the deep-rooted hypothesis — and show that the placenta doesn’t produce serotonin ...
The placenta could be one reason why some women develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy, a new study finds. A deficit in the way the placenta expresses the gene for a hormone called insulin-like ...
