Placental microRNA signatures of spontaneous preterm birth

This study identifies microRNA signatures associated with spontaneous preterm birth and links them to target genes involved in immune signaling and oxidative phosphorylation.

The Placental Transcriptome Serves as a Mechanistic Link between Prenatal Phthalate Exposure and Placental Efficiency

This study identifies placental transcriptome genes and modules mediating the effect of prenatal phthalate exposure on placental efficiency and fetal growth.

Associations Between Prenatal Vitamin D and Placental Gene Expression

This study examines the association between prenatal vitamin D levels and placental gene expression, finding 25 differentially expressed genes linked to mid-pregnancy vitamin D levels.
