Article Synopsis
  • Optofluidics combines microfluidics and photonics, presenting exciting opportunities for gas sensing technologies.
  • This study explores the creation of monolayer structures on a silicon nitride substrate, achieving a surface coverage of 59% through a microfluidic process.
  • The research highlights how linking these monolayers with a photonic integrated chip can enhance gas detection capabilities.

The aim of the study was to investigate if feto-maternal transfusion was related to the size of the fetal-maternal interface, and, therefore, was larger in twin pregnancy in comparison with singleton pregnancy. : Blood samples from women with singleton ( = 11), and monochorionic ( = 11) and dichorionic ( = 13) twin gestations were tested. Flow cytometry tests with hemoglobin F, glycophorin A, and hemoglobin F and carbonic anhydrase simultaneous staining were used to detect fetal red blood cells and maternal F cells.

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a severe complication of pregnancy associated with excessive invasion of cytotrophoblast cells at the sites of the endometrial-myometrial interface and the myometrium itself in cases of adherent (creta) and invasive (increta and percreta) forms, respectively. This leads to a high risk of massive blood loss, maternal hysterectomy, and preterm birth. Despite advancements in ultrasound protocols and found associations of alpha-fetoprotein, PAPP-A, hCG, PLGF, sFlt-1, IL-8, and IL-33 peripheral blood levels with PAS, there is a high need for an additional non-invasive test to improve the diagnostic accuracy and to select the real PAS from the suspected ones in the first-trimester screening.

Article Synopsis
  • The human central nervous system (CNS) has a diverse immune compartment that includes various cell populations, notably microglia (brain macrophages) and CNS-associated macrophages (CAMs), which are less common and not well studied.
  • Researchers used advanced techniques like single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to analyze over 356,000 transcriptomes from 102 individuals, revealing insights into the presence and variability of CAM subclasses in different conditions.
  • The study also examined myeloid cell types in glioblastoma samples, finding that the immune responses to hypoxia differ significantly between cancer-affected areas and healthy brain regions, emphasizing the complexity of the brain's immune system.

During pregnancy the maternal-fetal interface plays vital roles in fetal development. Its disruption is frequently found in pregnancy complications. Recent studies show increased incidences of adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with COVID-19; however, the mechanism remains unclear.
