Special hormonal and immunological changes are required for normal pregnancy
continuation. To escape from rejection by the maternal immune system, pregnancy needs an …

The early identification of women with an increased risk of preeclampsia (PE) is desirable,
but apart from soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), few biomarkers have previously …

microRNAs are important regulators of cell processes and have been proposed as potential
preeclampsia biomarkers. We evaluated serum microRNA expression profiling to identify …

It has not been established how history of hypertension in the father or mother of pregnant
women, combined with obesity or smoking, affects the risk of main forms of pregnancy …

Angiogenesis is vital during pregnancy for remodeling and enhancing vasodilation of
maternal uterine arteries, and increasing uterine blood flow. Abnormal angiogenesis is …

Background: In preeclampsia, a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, the poor remodeling of
spiral arteries leads to placental hypoperfusion and ischemia, provoking generalized …

Soluble endoglin (sEng) is a fragment of a membrane-associated receptor (CD105)
expressed on endothelial cells, mesenchymal stem cells and trophoblast cells. It is …

Thrombomodulin (TM) is involved in the pathological process of atherosclerosis; however,
the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Oxidised low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL; 100 …

Objective: The signalling of the receptor tyrosine kinase Met is critical in promoting
trophoblast cell invasion, and the deficiency in HGF/Met signalling is associated with …
