Human pregnancy zone protein stabilizes misfolded proteins including preeclampsia- and Alzheimer’s-associated amyloid beta peptide

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Pregnancy is a unique physiological state involving biological stresses that promote protein damage (misfolding) within the maternal body. Currently, little is known regarding how the maternal body copes with elevated protein misfolding in ...

Cancer Is Associated with the Emergence of Placenta-Reactive Autoantibodies

Biomedicines, 2023
Placenta-specific antigens are minimally expressed or unexpressed in normal adult tissues, while they are widely expressed in cancer. In the course of carcinogenesis, a vast array of autoantibodies (AAbs) is produced.
