Aug. 14 (UPI) --Researchers have developed an artificial placenta model using a high-resolution 3D printing process to resemble the natural organ. Known as an "organ on a chip," the man-made placenta ...

Most studies rely on forever chemicals detected late in pregnancy or cell models, so do not reflect real-life exposure ...

London, July 25 (IANS) Researchers have, in a breakthrough, developed a placenta on a chip that can potentially transform research into life-threatening conditions in pregnancy, such as preeclampsia ...

As many as one in 10 pregnant women develop preeclampsia, a condition that can result in dangerously high blood pressure and other serious, potentially deadly complications for mother and child. Now, ...

Researchers have developed a 'placenta-on-a-chip' to study the inner workings of the human placenta and its role in pregnancy. The device was designed to imitate, on a micro-level, the structure and ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have created a cellular model of the human placenta to help uncover how infections, from toxoplasmosis to the Zika virus, may pass from a mother to her unborn child. The ...

The placenta is the organ connecting mother and embryo. Its main functions are the exchange of nutrients, gases and metabolic products and the production of hormones and other substances essential for ...
