Taking paracetamol in pregnancy doesn’t increase your baby’s risk of autism or ADHD – new review
Paracetamol can safely treat fever and pain at any stage of pregnancy. And it’s important, as leaving fever untreated can be dangerous for the mother and baby.

Circular RNAs accumulate in aging human placental tissue and in stillbirth, leading to DNA damage and cellular senescence
Stillbirth is defined as a fetal death before the birth of a baby of either (1) ≥20 completed weeks’ gestation or (2) ≥400 g birthweight.1 Annually, there are 2 million stillbirths worldwide,2 with ∼2...

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!

“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.” 🧪
