Indian researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking "placenta-on-chip" technology, a lab-grown model replicating crucial ...

Indian scientists from ICMR-NIRWoH and IIT Bombay have developed an indigenous placenta-on-chip platform that mimics key ...

ICMR and IIT Bombay researchers develop a platform that mimics key functions of the placenta and could help researchers understand how medicines, pollutants and infections reach the foetus without ...

The placenta-on-chip mimics the human placental barrier, helping researchers study pregnancy complications and maternal-fetal ...

Most people talk about diet and lifestyle of the mother when it comes to pregnancy and a baby's health. But new studies are indicating that paternal nutrition and health during the very beginning of ...

Researchers have discovered in a preclinical model that cytokines, proteins that control immune response, circulating in maternal blood during pregnancy may mitigate an offspring's risk for ...

Maternal stress could leave epigenetic imprints on genes in the placenta associated with cortisol—a necessary hormone for fetal development—and this would affect the baby's development from very early ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of nearly 10,000 long-lasting chemical compounds that stay in the environment and have been linked to adverse health effects on humans, including ...

PFAS are chemicals that are ubiquitously present in the environment due to their widespread application in various industries and consumer products. Humans are highly exposed to these chemicals ...
