Oxidative stress induces release of mitochondrial DNA into the extracellular space in human placental villous trophoblast BeWo cells

This study shows oxidative stress induces mtDNA release and non-apoptotic cell death in BeWo trophoblast cells, with implications for placental pathology and ccf-mtDNA biomarkers.

Pregnancy-associated oxidative stress and inflammation are not associated with impaired maternal neuronal activity or memory function

This study examines the effects of pregnancy-related oxidative stress and inflammation on maternal hippocampal function and cognitive performance in rats, finding elevated oxidative stress markers in pregnant rats but no impact on memory or anxiety-like behavior.

Gestational exposure to unmethylated CpG oligonucleotides dysregulates placental molecular clock network and fetoplacental growth dynamics, and disrupts maternal blood pressure circadian rhythms in rats
