During the first weeks of pregnancy, the developing placenta in a mother's womb undergoes a dramatic change. Individual cells ...

Learn how placental malperfusion affects outcomes in Congenital Heart Disease and what genetic links reveal - keep reading to ...

The placenta – the major driver of changes in insulin physiology in pregnancy – is likely a key source of hormones involved in the development of gestational diabetes. Our goal was to discover novel ...

A deficit in the way the placenta expresses the gene for a hormone called insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) appears linked to insulin resistance during pregnancy, researchers reported. Photo by ...

An international team discovered that ancient viral DNA fragments help regulate genes essential for placental function. The ...

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) discovered that placental malperfusion (PMP), a condition that disrupts blood flow in the placenta, is common in fetuses with congenital heart ...

A new study has identified that a deficit in the placental expression of the gene insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGFBP1) and low IGFBP1 circulating levels are associated with insulin resistance during ...

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) discovered that placental malperfusion (PMP), a condition that ...

Congenital heart defects are the most common form of human birth defect, but we still don’t fully understand what causes them. Previous research had suggested that some heart defects could be ...
