PARP1/2-linked ADP-ribosylation impairs trophoblast mitochondrial respiration in a TNF-α model of inflammation-mediated preeclampsia.

Abolfazl Nik-Akhtar, Sophia Vanegas Pineda, Jacob Ouellet…·Shannon A. Bainbridge

This study shows PARP1/2-linked ADP-ribosylation impairs trophoblast mitochondrial respiration in inflammation-mediated preeclampsia, with olaparib improving respiration.

Prenatal fentanyl and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol exposure disrupt placental function and fetal growth in a mouse model of multidrug use

Yusmaris Cariaco, Nikita Larionov, Abolfazl Nik-Akhtar…·Shannon A. Bainbridge

This study shows that prenatal exposure to fentanyl and THC in mice impairs placental function and causes fetal growth restriction, with the greatest effects seen when both drugs are used together.
