Placental development and preeclampsia
生物医学转化, 2022 Serving as the interface between the fetal and maternal environment during gestation, the placenta plays critical roles in the protection of the developing fetus and the maintenance of pregnancy.

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 ...

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.

Effects of maternal smoking on human placental vascularization: A systematic review
Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2019 The abnormal development of placental vascularization leads to placental insufficiency, which further reduces the nutrient and trace exchange between maternal circulation and fetal circulation. These changes cause maternal and fetal complications.
