Red Light Mitigates the Deteriorating Placental Extracellular Matrix in Late Onset of Preeclampsia and Improves the Trophoblast Behavior by Jakara Griffin, John G. Krolikowski, Kenisha Kounga, Janine Struve, Agnes Keszler, Brian Lindemer, Michelle Bordas, Grant Broeckel, Nicole L. Lohr, Dorothee Weihrauch

“…Since NO is critical for placentation, we examined eNOS activity in preeclamptic placentas compared to healthy ones and found no differences; however, 670 nm light treatment triggered enhanced NO availability presumably by using alternative NO sources. …”

Single-nucleus RNA sequencing reveals distinct pathophysiological trophoblast signatures in spontaneous preterm birth subtypes by Cherilyn Uhm, Jianlei Gu, Weina Ju, Stephanie Pizzella, Hande Oktay, Joyce Yao-Chun Peng, Sararose Guariglia, Yong Liu, Hongyu Zhao, Yong Wang, Ramkumar Menon, Nanbert Zhong

“…Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing, we investigated transcriptomic and cellular differences at the maternal–fetal interface in pPROM and sPTL placentas. Our findings revealed distinct trophoblast compositions with pPROM characterized predominantly by extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs), while sPTL showed an abundance of syncytiotrophoblasts (STBs). …”

Potential molecular and cellular mechanisms for adverse placental outcomes in pregnancies complicated by SARS-CoV-2 infection-A scoping review. by Janelle Y Wai, Eilidh M Wood, Kylie K Hornaday, Donna M Slater

“…SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with perturbations in the ACE2 pathway, inflammatory mediators and immune cell populations and mitochondrial function in placentas.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Our findings suggest that changes in the ACE2 pathway, mitochondrial dysfunction, and/or inflammatory processes may lead to placental damage observed in SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy. …”

Investigation of Association with First-Trimester Free Human Chorionic Gonadotropin-ß, Pregnancy - Associated Plasma Protein-A, and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes by Gokhan Gonen, Yasam Kemal Akpak, Murat Muhcu

“… OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the association between first-trimester screening maternal serum markers (free human chorionic gonadotropin-beta (β-hCG), pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A, and adverse pregnancy outcomes (gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, preterm delivery, intrauterine growth restriction, oligohydramnios, intrauterine ex-fetus, abruptio placentae, and gestational diabetes mellitus). STUDY DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort study including 1516 women who delivered a singleton pregnancy at GATA Haydarpasa Education Hospital from 2006 to 2009. …”
