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

This study examines how prenatal air pollution exposure affects DNA methylation in cord blood and its link to childhood wheeze, finding some epigenetic changes are partially buffered by maternal diet.

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

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.

The paper constructs a genome-scale transcriptional regulatory network of the human placenta using genomic and transcriptomic data, identifying key regulators of preterm birth.

This study compares transcriptomes of in vitro human placental models to bulk placental tissue, finding significant gene expression differences and developing a web tool for model selection.
