Methadone Triggers Fetal Membrane Sterile Inflammation Through Innate Immune and Opioid Receptor Signaling

Megan E Kelleher, Hanah M. Georges, Lisa V Salmeron…·Vikki M. Abrahams

This study shows methadone induces sterile inflammation in fetal membranes via TLR7, TLR8, NLRP3, opioid receptors, and NFκB/MAPK signaling in both human and mouse models.
