This study tracks maternal immune gene expression and genetic regulation throughout pregnancy, revealing dynamic changes and genetic interactions linked to pregnancy complications.

The paper identifies 762 transcripts uniquely depleted in the placenta compared to 46 other human organs, highlighting mitochondrial and polyamine metabolism enrichment.

This study identifies fetal and maternal GDF15 as key factors in pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting, showing their roles in disease risk and severity.

This study uses whole genome sequencing of placental biopsies to show that human placentas exhibit clonal expansions, copy number changes, and developmental bottlenecks similar to childhood cancer.
