(Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2017;217(3):352.e1–352.e7) The United States has seen a rise in the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in the past decade, one of only 8 countries to do so. Three possible reasons for this include: an increasing maternal age and therefore increase in higher-risk pregnancies, changes in age-specific MMRs, and the inclusion of

Zinc Exposure Causes Disulfidptosis to Induce Miscarriage by Up‐Regulating GATA1/METTL1/SLC7A11 Axis
Zn exposure up‐regulates GATA1, promoting GATA1‐mediated METTL1 and SLC7A11 transcription. It also enhances METTL1‐mediated m7G modification on SLC7A11 mRNA, increasing SLC7A11 mRNA stability. Ultimately, Zn exposure up‐regulates SLC7A11 at both transcriptional and post‐transcriptional levels, causing disulfidptosis. Knockdown of murine Slc7a11, Gata1,
