This study identifies five proteins whose sequential changes in plasma precede spontaneous labour onset, implicating the IL-33/ST2 axis in labour timing and identifying LMOD1 as a novel marker.

The paper presents a longitudinal transcriptomic atlas of maternal peripheral blood during healthy pregnancy, identifying 720 pregnancy-specific genes and nine transcriptional modules associated with immune and metabolic changes.

This study identifies persistent immune dysregulation in women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy years after delivery, linked to increased cardiovascular disease risk.

This study identifies 48 genetic variants associated with handedness using a large GWAS, highlighting polygenic nature and genetic links to neuropsychiatric traits.

This study identifies a fetal genome-wide association signal near pro-inflammatory cytokine genes on 2q13 linked to gestational duration and preterm/postterm birth.
