Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a major and silent cause of various morbidity and
mortality for the fetal and neonatal population. It is defined as a rate of fetal growth that is …

The control of gene expression by microRNAs influences many cellular processes and has
been implicated in the control of many (patho) physiological states. Recently, microRNAs …

Placental trophoblasts form the interface between the fetal and maternal environments and
serve to limit the maternal–fetal spread of viruses. Here we show that cultured primary …

The largest gene cluster of human microRNAs (miRNAs), the chromosome 19 miRNA
cluster (C19MC), is exclusively expressed in the placenta and in undifferentiated cells. The …

Although preeclampsia is a common and serious complication of pregnancy, insight into its
pathobiology and diagnosis is lacking. Circulating plasma exosomes, which contain RNA …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, which function as critical
posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression by promoting mRNA degradation and …

Hypoxia is one of the most common and severe challenges to the maintenance of
homeostasis. Oxygen sensing is a property of all tissues, and the response to hypoxia is …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are expressed in the placenta and can be detected in maternal
plasma. An increasing number of studies have been published on the cellular origin …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding single-stranded RNAs that are integral to a wide
range of cellular processes mainly through the regulation of translation and mRNA stability …

Detection of plasma circulating nucleic acids (CNAs) requires the use of extremely sensitive
and precise methods. The commonly used quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction …
