Among other things, environmental factors during the child's early development in the womb are suspected, which lay the foundation for later illnesses. A team of researchers from Empa, ETH Zurich, ...

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

Scientifically, it is known that a retained placenta in a cow should be removed between 48 and 72 hours from calving to allow ...

The new study finds higher concentrations of microplastics and nanoplastics in the placentas of preterm infants compared to ...

In the case of placental insufficiency, the placenta is not supplied with a sufficient amount of blood and the exchange of substances between the placenta and fetus does not function properly. This ...

Researchers identified genes that could explain why some assisted reproductive technologies, like IVF, carry a higher risk of growth and metabolic issues in offspring.

In the case of placental insufficiency, the placenta is not supplied with a sufficient amount of blood and the exchange of substances between the placenta and fetus does not function properly ...

Their potential applications include disease modeling, drug screening, and personalized medicine as they closely mimic the structure and function of humans. Despite these advantages, existing ...
