Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Abnormal uptake or metabolism of folate increases risk of human pregnancy complications, though the mechanism is unclear. Here, we explore how defective folate metabolism influences early development by analysing mice with the hypomorphic Mtrrgt mutation.

Nested Selves: Self‐Organization and Shared Markov Blankets in Prenatal Development in Humans
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract The immune system is a central component of organismic function in humans. This paper addresses self‐organization of biological systems in relation to—and nested within—other biological systems in pregnancy. Pregnancy constitutes a fundamental state for human embodiment and a key step in the evolution and conservation of our species. While not

Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Maternal and Fetal Compartments
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Pregnancy success is orchestrated by the complex balance between the maternal and fetal immune systems. Herein, we summarize the potential role of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in the maternal and fetal compartments.
