A stunning new maternal–fetal interface atlas led by @SusanFisher and @YingLi maps human placentation across gestation with single-cell and spatial resolution, an incredible resource for the field. I very much looking forward to digging into this one: https://t.co/wtIEQluw8I

Working with parents and professionals, we have updated the #stillbirth priority setting partnership. These are the top-12 research priorities for stillbirth in the UK. Thank you to everyone who contributed their time and to Tommy's for funding and @LindAlliance for supporting

In this Opinion, we propose that pregnancy health depends on maternal–fetal immune homeostasis—and that complications like preterm birth and pre-eclampsia arise when this balance breaks. #NGLlab #CRepHS @WashU_OBGYN @washu_pathology

Cool new paper from the @ozannelab showing maternal iron homeostasis, not placental dysfunction, is associated with fetal hypoxia at e13.5 in obese mouse pregnancy https://t.co/F3XqHvmKkO

The Andrée Gruslin Award Lecture was truly inspiring, showcasing the remarkable journey of Lynda K Harris (Nebraska, USA) through her captivating talk on Plaques, placentas, piñatas, and nanoparticles! #IFPA2025

Excited to share a paper from my PhD in @ReprodJournal 🧬
Advanced maternal age impacts placental health differently in male vs female offspring via mitochondrial changes & oxidative stress.

#FlashbackFriday These 2017 authors found that during the perinatal period, #estrogen can cause “sexual differentiation of the male brain, and specifically the stress circuitry in the hypothalamus.” Read the results of this research study: https://t.co/13JVLqn6uH

[Prof Jo James @drjojames]

Feels like it’s been a while between papers.. but our latest is now out! Here we used the side-population technique to isolate term trophoblast stem cells, showing that in FGR they grow slower, die more easily, and have impaired differentiation. https://t.co/Oak4Mm4BKh

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

In a new Science study, researchers report a powerful tool to design small, folded protein domains that interact tightly with intrinsically disordered protein regions.

The authors suggest potential applications in cellular imaging, in vitro peptide capture, and modulating cell signaling pathways.

[Loke Centre for Trophoblast Research @Loke_CTR]

Loke CTR members Sung Gong, Gordon Smith and Steve Charnock-Jones, and collaborators have shown that raised Leptin and Pappalysin2 cell-free RNAs are hallmarks of pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia with fetal growth restriction.

How did mammal placental diversity evolve? microRNAs play a significant role - so much so that their repertoire is predictive of phenotype .. Congrats to all: esp 1st author Jonathan Fenn & all in @niamhforde's group. Thanks to @BBSRC and @LeverhulmeTrust. https://t.co/wKscJS8VfY
