Derivation of functional early gestation decidual natural killer cell subtypes from induced pluripotent stem cells

This study identifies functional differences in term decidual natural killer cells compared to early gestation and develops a protocol to generate functional early gestation-like dNK from iPSC.

Single-cell transcriptomics reveal differences between chorionic and basal plate cytotrophoblasts and trophoblast stem cells

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to compare transcriptional differences between chorionic and basal plate cytotrophoblasts and trophoblast stem cells in early human placenta.

Discovery and Verification of Extracellular microRNA Biomarkers for Diagnostic and Prognostic Assessment of Preeclampsia at Triage

This study identifies and validates three bivariate extracellular miRNA biomarkers for early diagnosis and subtype distinction of preeclampsia using maternal serum samples.
