Microchimerism and scleroderma

Current Rheumatology Reports, 1999
It is now known that cells traffic between fetus and mother during normal human pregnancy. Moreover, fetal cells have been found to persist in the maternal peripheral blood for decades after childbirth. Chronic graft-versus-host disease, a known condition of chimerism that occurs after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has clinical ...

Microchimerism in recurrent miscarriage [PDF]

Cellular and Molecular Immunology, 2014
Maternal-fetal cell exchange during pregnancy results in acquisition of microchimerism, which can durably persist in both recipients. Naturally acquired microchimerism may impact maternal-fetal interaction in pregnancy. We conducted studies to ask whether microchimerism that a woman acquired from her own mother is detectable before or during pregnancy ...

Fetal microchimerism and cancer

Cancer Letters, 2009
The acquisition and persistence of fetal microchimerism, small numbers of genetically disparate cells from the fetus in the mother, is now a well-recognized consequence of normal pregnancy. Fetal microchimerism has been associated with several classical autoimmune diseases, but its role in normal health remains undefined.

Microchimerism and systemic sclerosis

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2005
Although 6 years have elapsed since the initial report describing the presence of microchimeric cells in affected tissues from patients with systemic sclerosis, a mechanism by which these cells might contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease is still unknown.

Microchimerism

JAMA, 2004
Recent studies indicate cells transfer between fetus and mother during pregnancy and can persist in both decades later. The presence within one individual of a small population of cells from another genetically distinct individual is referred to as microchimerism.

Microchimerism in type 1 diabetes

Current Diabetes Reports, 2009
The observation that maternal cells can transfer from mother to child during pregnancy and differentiate into many different tissues including islet beta cells is exciting and intriguing, and to date has generated more questions than answers: Could these genetically distinct maternal cells play a role in the initiation of autoimmune diabetes in the ...

Microchimerism in Health and Disease

Current Molecular Medicine, 2002
Microchimerism has been defined by the presence of a low number of circulating cells transferred from one individual to another. This transfer takes place naturally during pregnancy, between mother and fetus and/or between fetuses in multi-gestational pregnancies.

Microchimerism: implications for autoimmune disease

Lupus, 1999
Recent studies indicate cells traffic between the fetus and mother during normal human pregnancy and that fetal cells persist in maternal peripheral blood for decades after childbirth. The long-term persistence of fetal cells, when considered together with clinical similarities of chronic graft-vs-host disease and autoimmune disease and the female ...

Pathophysiology of fetal microchimeric cells

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2005
Microchimerism has been defined by the presence of a low number of circulating cells transferred from one individual to another. The transfer of microchimeric cells naturally takes place during pregnancy and occurs bi-directionally between the mother and fetus.
