Maternal obesity alters the placental transcriptome in a fetal sex-dependent manner
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Infants born to obese mothers have an increased risk of developing obesity and metabolic diseases in childhood and adulthood. Although the molecular mechanisms linking maternal obesity during pregnancy to the development of metabolic diseases in ...

A Potential Role and Contribution of Androgens in Placental Development and Pregnancy
Life, 2021 Successful pregnancy requires the establishment of a highly regulated maternal–fetal environment. This is achieved through the harmonious regulation of steroid hormones, which modulate both maternal and fetal physiology, and are critical for pregnancy ...

Trophoblast lineage-specific differentiation and associated alterations in preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction. [PDF]
, 2020 The human placenta is a poorly-understood organ, but one that is critical for proper development and growth of the fetus in-utero. The epithelial cell type that contributes to primary placental functions is called "trophoblast," including two main ...

Alterations in Maternal–Fetal Heart Rate Coupling Strength and Directions in Abnormal Fetuses
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Because fetal gas exchange takes place via the maternal placenta, there has been growing interests in investigating the patterns and directions of maternal-fetal cardiac coupling to better understand the mechanisms of placental gas transfer.
