Article Synopsis
  • Preeclampsia (PE) and Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) are serious pregnancy conditions linked to placental issues and can lead to complications for the mother and baby.
  • A study compared gene expression in placentas from four groups: PE, IUGR, combined PE-IUGR, and normal pregnancies, revealing significant differences, especially in IUGR samples.
