The human placenta exhibits a complex three-dimensional (3D) structure with a interpenetrating vascular tree and large internal interfacial area. In a unique and yet insufficiently explored way, this parenchymal structure enables its multiple functions as a respiratory, renal, and gastrointestinal multiorgan. The histopathological states are highly correlated with complications and health issues of mother, and fetus or newborn.

Introduction: The distribution of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and dendritic cells (DCs) in sponge trophoblast cells may contribute to the syncytialisation of trophoblast cells and the establishment of uterine placental circulation. Our previous series of studies have shown that MPO plays an important role in angiogenesis and repair, and placental vascular dysfunction can lead to serious pregnancy complications and even miscarriage.
Methods: Mouse model of MPO knockout was constructed, and the crosstalk between MPO and dendritic cells (DC) cells was investigated to determine whether MPO is involved in the pregnancy process.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in the placenta can lead to fetal distress and demise, characterized by severe trophoblast necrosis, chronic histiocytic intervillositis (CHI), and massive perivillous fibrin deposition. We aimed to uncover spatial immune-related protein changes in SARS-CoV-2 placentitis compared with CHI placentas and uncomplicated pregnancies to gain insight into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Placentas were retrospectively collected from cases with SARS-CoV-2 placentitis resulting in fetal distress/demise (n = 9), CHI (n = 9), and uncomplicated term controls (n = 9).

This study aimed to determine the protective role of boric acid in a pregnant rat model of high fructose corn syrup consumption. Consumption of high fructose corn syrup has been associated with adverse health outcomes in humans and animals. Twenty-eight healthy female Wistar albino rats (250-300 g weight and 16-24 weeks old) were randomly distributed into four equal groups (n = 7): Control, Boric acid (BA), High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), HFCS + BA.

Purpose: Our primary objective was to characterize clinical and procedural factors affecting sample size in chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
Methods: This retrospective, single-site cohort study included singleton pregnancies undergoing transabdominal (TA) and transcervical (TC) CVS between 2020 and 2023. Prenatal and maternal data were obtained from the electronic medical record.
