Ambient black carbon particles reach the fetal side of human placenta
Nature Communications, 2019 Particle transfer across the placenta has been suggested but to date, no direct evidence in real-life, human context exists. Here we report the presence of black carbon (BC) particles as part of combustion-derived particulate matter in human placentae ...

Human placenta has no microbiome but can harbour potential pathogens
Nature, 2019 We sought to determine whether pre-eclampsia, spontaneous preterm birth or the delivery of infants who are small for gestational age were associated with the presence of bacterial DNA in the human placenta. Here we show that there was no evidence for the

C1431T Variant of PPARγ Is Associated with Preeclampsia in Pregnant Women
Life, 2021 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is essential for placental development, whose SNPs have shown increased susceptibility to pregnancy-related diseases, such as preeclampsia.
