🧬 ¿Y si el origen de una complicación grave del embarazo estuviera en los primeros pasos de la placenta? Un estudio del grupo de Vicente Pérez García en el CBM revela un mecanismo genético temprano que podría explicar la preeclampsia precoz. www.cbm.uam.es/index.php/20...

🤰Un mecanismo genético temprano en la formación de la placenta explicaría una grave complicación del embarazo 🧬Liderado por el @cbm-csic-uam.bsky.social  el trabajo identifica que el desajuste de un gen regulador origina alteraciones como la preeclampsia ➡️http://tiny.cc/yxg1101

Check out these feather buds on the chicken embryo's wing! Our latest study @plosbiology.org reveals that temporary inhibition of sonic hedgehog signalling transforms feathers into simple, protofeather-like structures—similar to those of their dinosaur ancestors🔬🦖🧪 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

A study in Nature Communications shows that Zika virus NS1 induces tunneling nanotubes in placental cells, which facilitate viral spread and transport of mitochondria in placental cells. The findings could be used to develop therapeutic strategies targeted against this transmission mode. 🧪
