The study investigates the role of specific proteins (MMP-2, MMP-9, EGFR, and IL-8) in unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) due to a lack of clear causes and treatments.
It involves comparing tissue samples from 22 women with RPL and 18 women who opted for elective pregnancy termination, using immunohistochemical methods for analysis.
Findings show significant differences in MMP-9, EGFR, and IL-8 levels between the two groups, suggesting that immune and structural abnormalities may contribute to RPL.
