Let's tackle Sickle Cell Disease together!

Investigating Hydroxyurea’s Effects on Pregnancy in Sickle Cell Disease This research project focuses on evaluating the safety and efficacy of hydroxyurea treatment in pregnant individuals with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD).

Placental disease: A key contributor to unexplained pregnancy loss New study in Reproductive Sciences identifies placental diseases as the likely cause for 99% of unexplained pregnancy losses, shedding light on miscarriages and stillbirths. The research suggests that identifying specific placental pathologies could lead to more preventative measures.

Just published a fascinating podcast discussing the role of T cells in maternal immune tolerance during pregnancy. Researchers analyzed uterine intervillous blood and found differences in T cell phenotype and function in preeclampsia cases. Impaired immune tolerance and a pro-inflammatory microenvironment were observed. Exciting insights for potential immunotherapeutic strategies! 🤰🔬
