A protein found throughout the body plays a big role in immune system modulation in pregnancy and affects placental health, a study finds.
Measuring the placenta can determine the cause of previously unexplained miscarriages and stillbirths, say researchers.
Researchers are developing a new way to monitor the placenta during pregnancy with optical measurements and ultrasound.
Direct transmission of BPA via the placenta can harm fetal brain development, researchers report. The new study explores mRNA's role.
Direct transmission of BPA from a mother to her developing child via the placenta can harm fetal brain development. A new study explores mRNA's role.
Stem cells from healthy placentas could one day help reduce brain injury in growth-restricted infants, babies who fail to grow normally in the womb.
An unexpected discovery could provide stem cells for the creation of placenta tissue. Until now, that hasn't been possible.
Opioid use during pregnancy can affect the placenta's structure, harming cells key for normal brain development, a study with mice suggests.
A new advance could make it easier to study the placenta, and its role in pregnancy, miscarriage, and preeclampsia, say researchers.
