Several histopathological features are found more frequently in placentas from pregnancies
complicated by fetal growth restriction (FGR), including villous infarction, maternal vascular …

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

Mammalian embryos have an intimate relationship with their mothers, particularly with the
placental vasculature from which embryos obtain nutrients essential for growth. It is an …

An adequate nutrient and substrate supply is essential for normal intrauterine development
of the fetus. Disturbances in uterine blood supply are associated with higher perinatal …

Placental insufficiency is a process leading to progressive deterioration in placental function
and a decrease in transplacental transfer of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus. The resulting …

Objective To evaluate placental morphology in pregnancies complicated by early‐and late‐
onset pre‐eclampsia (PET) with and without fetal growth restriction (FGR) using …

The placenta is the largest fetal organ, and toward the end of pregnancy the umbilical
circulation receives at least 40% of the biventricular cardiac output. It is not surprising …

Co-ordinated development of the fetal villous tree of the placenta is necessary for continued
fetal growth and well-being. Before fetal viability, blood vessel development within the …

Objective: Accumulating evidence suggests that the balance between vascular endothelial
growth factor (VEGF), placental growth factor (PlGF), and their receptors is important for …

Patterns of fetoplacental angiogenesis vary not only during the course of a normal
pregnancy but also in certain pregnancy pathologies. Here, we review some of the …
