Maternal acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy is associated with a higher likelihood of childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to a study led by the University of ...

Placental abruption is a life-threatening pregnancy complication that occurs when the placenta prematurely separates from the wall of the uterus. It reduces the fetus's oxygen and nutrient supply and ...

Consuming the placenta following childbirth is an increasingly popular trend in industrial countries, such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, and the United States. Although precise ...

Placental epigenetic signatures of maternal distress in glucocorticoid-related genes and newborn outcomes: A study of Spanish primiparous women. European Neuropsychopharmacology , 2025; 90: 36 DOI ...

The resulting abnormal maternal spiral artery remodeling, fluctuating blood-flow, and ischemic stress lead to placental histological changes and the release of harmful substances from the placenta. As ...

A groundbreaking study reveals that a simple blood test measuring placental growth factor (PlGF) levels can help predict ...

The addition of Marion General means the Lifeline of Ohio Placenta Donation Program will be available at all OhioHealth ...

36 Maternal placental syndromes (MPS)—gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia and placental abruption/infarction—are more prevalent in women with features of the metabolic syndrome (MetSyn). We found ...

Stress during pregnancy may cause changes in placental genes linked to cortisol regulation. These changes could impact fetal ...

Maternal stress could leave epigenetic imprints on genes in the placenta associated with cortisol-a necessary hormone for foetal development-and this would affect the baby’s development from very ...
