Fetal and amniotic fluid iron homeostasis in healthy and complicated murine, macaque, and human pregnancy. [PDF]
JCI Insight, 2020 Adequate iron supply during pregnancy is essential for fetal development. However, how fetal or amniotic fluid iron levels are regulated during healthy pregnancy, or pregnancies complicated by intraamniotic infection or inflammation (IAI) is unknown.

Human β‐defensin‐1: A natural antimicrobial peptide present in amniotic fluid that is increased in spontaneous preterm labor with intra‐amniotic infection [PDF]
American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2018 Human β‐defensins (HBDs) are antimicrobial peptides that participate in the soluble innate immune mechanisms against infection. Herein, we determined whether HBD‐1 was present in amniotic fluid during normal pregnancy and whether its concentrations ...
