This study shows that advanced maternal age impairs decidual angiogenesis and spiral artery remodeling in mice, contributing to pregnancy complications and cardiovascular risk.

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to show how an obesogenic diet affects decidual differentiation and cell-cell communication in the mouse uterus.

This study shows that maternal high-fat, high-sucrose diet leads to placental hypoxia and immune disruption in late gestation without significant fetal growth issues.

This study examines how pregnancy and adiposity affect intestinal structure, permeability, and immune cell composition in mice at mid- and late-gestation.

This study shows that high-fat diet during pregnancy alters maternal gut microbiota and barrier function, leading to placental hypoxia and fetal gut developmental issues.
