Body fluids are constantly replenished with a population of genetically diverse cell-free DNA
(cfDNA) fragments, representing a vast reservoir of information reflecting real-time changes …

Telomeres are nucleoprotein complexes located at the distal ends of chromosomes. In
adults, progressive telomere shortening occurs throughout the lifetime and is thought to …

Inflammation-associated insulin resistance is a key trigger of gestational diabetes mellitus
(GDM), but the underlying mechanisms and effective interventions remain unclear. Here, we …

Excessive cell-free DNA (cfDNA) released by damaged or apoptotic cells can cause
inflammation, impacting the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). cfDNA scavengers …

Parturition at term in normal pregnancy follows a predictable sequence of events. There is
some evidence that a state of inflammation prevails in the reproductive tissues during labor …

Inflammation is known to play a key role in preterm and term parturition. Cell-free fetal DNA
(cff-DNA) is present in the maternal circulation and increases with gestational age and some …

Cell‐free fetal DNA analysis has an established role in prenatal assessments. It serves as a
source of fetal genetic material that is accessible non‐invasively from maternal blood …

There exists a strong correlation between unscheduled inflammation at the maternal‐fetal
interface and the continuum of pregnancy complications. In normal pregnancy …

Background Recent studies have suggested a possible association between heparin
treatment at the time of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) testing and a non-reportable result. However …

Cell-free fetal DNA in the maternal circulation has been associated with the onset of labor at
term. Moreover, clinical studies have suggested that cell-free fetal DNA has value to predict …
