Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics & GynecologyBackground: Significant interplay exists between the amniotic fluid and the developing fetus. However the true nature of the relationship between the amniotic fluid and the fetus, as well as the fetal membranes, is very poorly understood due to the lack ...

m6A‐Driven Pexophagy Triggers Placental Ferroptosis to Impair Fetal Growth Upon Environmental Stress
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Prenatal environmental stress exposure promotes m6A modification to drive PEX2‐dependent pexophagy, thereby causing placental ferroptosis and FGR. ABSTRACT The role and underlying mechanisms of placental ferroptosis in fetal growth restriction (FGR) induced by environmental stress remain poorly understood.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is characterized by abnormal fluid accumulation in ≥ 2 fetal compartments and may be genetic. The incremental diagnostic yield of prenatal exome sequencing (ES) for NIHF following a negative standard workup was previously explored on 22 cases.
