Time to full oral feedings was compared between infants born to mothers with and without diabetes (267 versus 918) Continuous and binomial variables were analyzed with the Mann Whitney U test and the Chi-Square test respectively.
Article Synopsis
- The placenta protects against harmful substances during pregnancy, and issues with its development can cause serious complications like preeclampsia and preterm birth.
- Researchers previously found that the immune regulator B7-H4/VTCN1 shows increased expression during the early differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into trophoblasts.
- This study examines how B7-H4/VTCN1 affects trophoblast development, antiviral responses, and influences on MHC class I expression and natural killer cell (NK cell) behavior.
