Article Synopsis
  • - Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a serious pregnancy complication linked to negative outcomes like preterm birth and stillbirth, often caused by issues with placental development and nutrient supply, which can be affected by the fetus's sex.
  • - The study examined changes in gene expression and miRNA associated with placental dysfunction in FGR pregnancies using tissue samples from both FGR and control pregnancies, discovering that specific genes related to angiogenesis and other factors were altered.
  • - Findings indicated that placental issues in FGR pregnancies may differ based on the sex of the newborn, with notable variations in gene expression and microvessel markers, suggesting that these changes might influence how placental impairment occurs.

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease caused by variants in the gene that lead to the deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme tripeptidyl peptidase I (TPP1) activity. Herein, we report a rare case of CLN2 caused by two novel variants of . The patient presented with seizures at onset, followed by progressive cognitive impairment, motor decline, and vision loss.

Successful embryo implantation requires a competent embryo, a receptive endometrium and synchronized communication between them. The selection of embryos with the highest implantation potential remains a challenge in the field of assisted reproductive technology. Moreover, little is known about the precise molecular mechanisms underlying embryo‑endometrium crosstalk.
