Characterization of fetal microchimeric immune cells in mouse maternal hearts during physiologic and pathologic pregnancies

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Introduction: During pregnancy, fetal cells can be incorporated into maternal tissues (fetal microchimerism), where they can persist postpartum. Whether these fetal cells are beneficial or detrimental to maternal health is unknown.

Predictors of male microchimerism [PDF]

Chimerism, 2012
The association between microchimerism acquired primarily through pregnancy and later disease is of increasing scientific interest. Because this line of research is new and little is known about the nature of microchimerism, studies of microchimerism are potentially vulnerable to error from confounding and reverse causation.

MICROCHIMERISM: INACCURATE LITERATURE CITATIONS [PDF]

Transplantation, 1996
Recent evidence suggests that the leukocytes (including stem cells) contained in organs migrate after transplantation and produce persistent chimerism, which is essential for sustained survival of the allografts (1, 2). With this information, we proposed as an encompassing principle that success after either clinical bone marrow or organ ...

Cellular Subsets of Maternal Microchimerism in Umbilical Cord Blood

Cell Transplantation, 2019
Maternal microchimerism may arise in the offspring during pregnancy, and may be favorable or unfavorable. Additionally, maternal cells present in umbilical cord blood used for stem cell transplantation may affect the outcome after transplantation.

Folinic Acid Supplementation in Folate Receptor Alpha Autoantibodies‐Positive Pregnancy: A Pilot Randomized Study on Neurodevelopmental Outcomes

Reproductive, Female and Child Health, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Folate receptor alpha autoantibodies (FRAAs) during pregnancy may impair placental folate transport, contributing to cerebral folate deficiency and increasing the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Sex matters in CSU: Women face greater burden and poorer urticaria control, especially in midlife—CURE insights

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 67-78, January 2026.
Chronic spontaneous urticaria affects more females than males, with predominance starting at age 31. The rates of several symptoms, including angioedema, sleep disturbance and systemic symptoms, are significantly higher in females than in males. Overall, females face greater burden and poorer urticaria control.

Lady Parts and Baby Parts: What Is a Fetus?

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 1, Page 161-174, January 2026.
ABSTRACT A common‐sense view of mammalian pregnancy treats the fetus as (a) an organism and (b) co‐extensive with the approximately baby‐shaped entity developing in the uterus. In this paper, I draw on metabolic accounts of the organism to show that (a) and (b) cannot both be correct: either the fetus is not an organism, or it is considerably more ...

Parity Influences the Immune Profile of Human Milk via Increased T Lymphocyte Content

Acta Paediatrica, Volume 114, Issue 12, Page 3298-3308, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Breast milk contains immune cells, but the factors influencing their composition are not fully understood. The role of maternal reproductive history in shaping this composition has largely been overlooked. The aim of this study was to evaluate the content of leukocytes, stem cells, and lactocytes in the milk of primiparous mothers compared
