Premature placental aging, driven by early accumulation of circular RNAs, may compromise fetal nourishment and increase stillbirth risk, highlighting potential for earlier detection and intervention.

New clues to preventing stillbirth: Research highlights premature placental aging
Flinders University researchers have uncovered a biological process that could explain some stillbirths and pave the way for early detection and prevention.

New paper 🌟✨ We found that some placentas age too early in stillbirth - linked to circular RNAs, DNA damage, and cell stress. Crucially, these signals can show up early in pregnancy, in blood. Small molecules, big clues!

A beautiful talk this morning from
@kirsty-pringle.bsky.social
on the importance of consumers in research - not just involving them but having them lead the research direction 🤰

“We found that ACE2 plays a key role in helping the cells in the placenta grow properly and when it is ‘knocked out’ the cells struggled to grow, and more cell death was observed.” 🧪
