DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00504.2020
Abstract: Normal human pregnancy requires a dramatic increase in uteroplacental blood flow which is achieved by a transformation in the geometry of uterine spiral arteries, a key element in this blood supply system. The transformation is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0177813
Abstract: Changes in maternal innate immunity during healthy human pregnancy are not well understood. Whether basal immune status in vivo is largely unaffected by pregnancy, is constitutively biased towards an inflammatory phenotype (transiently enhancing host defense)… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/vetsci10020144
Abstract: Simple Summary Despite the relevance of biometrical and blood flow assessments for studying fetoplacental physiology during pregnancy, there is no detailed description of any animal model, which is needed to extrapolate results to human pregnancy.… read more here.
