Soluble HLA-G Expression Inversely Correlates With Fetal Microchimerism Levels in Peripheral Blood From Women With Scleroderma [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Women with scleroderma (SSc) maintain significantly higher quantities of persisting fetal microchimerism (FMc) from complete or incomplete pregnancies in their peripheral blood compared to healthy women. The non-classical class-I human leukocyte antigen (

Pregnancy induced displacement of preexisting microchimeric cells in the absence of maternal B and T cells [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyBidirectional exchange of cells between mother and fetus occurs during pregnancy, and persistence of these genetically foreign cells establishes long-term microchimerism in both individuals after parturition.

Male-origin microchimerism and risk of cancer: a systematic review and meta‑analysis [PDF]
BMC CancerBackground Many women carry male cells of presumed fetal origin–so-called male-origin microchimerism (MOM) in their circulation and tissues. The association between MOM and cancer risk remains unclear.

Distant mesenchymal progenitors contribute to skin wound healing and produce collagen: evidence from a murine fetal microchimerism model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The contribution of distant and/or bone marrow-derived endogenous mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) to skin wounds is controversial. Bone marrow transplantation experiments employed to address this have been largely confounded by radiation-resistant host ...

Deciphering the Role of Maternal Microchimerism in Offspring Autoimmunity: A Narrative Review [PDF]
MedicinaFeto-maternal microchimerism is the bidirectional transfer of cells through the placenta during pregnancy that can affect the health of both the mother and the offspring, even in childhood or adulthood.

Microchimerism; Bilateral migration of cells between mother and fetus [PDF]
Majallah-i Zanān, Māmā̓ī va Nāzā̓ī-i Īrān, 2022 Introduction: The bilateral cell traffic between fetus and mother probably occurs in all pregnancies and is participated in the development of fetal immune system, tissue repair in autoimmune diseases, cancer and maternal immune surveillance.

The outcomes of fetal cell microchimerism in the mother
Biomedical Research Journal, 2021 The presence of small quantities of genetically heterogeneous cells in an organism is known as microchimerism. Fetal microchimerism is the presence of small quantities of fetal cells in the maternal system during and after pregnancy.

Male microchimerism in the human female brain. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In humans, naturally acquired microchimerism has been observed in many tissues and organs. Fetal microchimerism, however, has not been investigated in the human brain.
