Fundación Carlos Simón para la Investigación en Salud de la Mujer

We are pleased to share the publication of a new paper in Human Reproduction Open, where our investigators, Dr. Felipe Vilella and Dr. Carlos Simon, contributed to research led by Masoud Zamani Esteki at Maastricht University Medical Centre and Andres Salumets at Karolinska University Hospital The study has important implications for devising future strategies aimed at improving fertility management in women of advanced reproductive age. In brief, the study reveals that the transcriptome and cellular composition of endometrial samples from women of advanced maternal age significantly differ from that of samples taken from young women. These findings suggest that endometrial receptivity may be influenced by specific changes in epithelial cells. Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/ddqqkgzf

Preeclampsia - a serious pregnancy complication that affects 5-8% of pregnancies worldwide - is characterized by high blood pressure and the presence of protein in the urine. Preeclampsia presents serious risks for both mothers and infants, including life-threatening conditions such as eclampsia and HELLP syndrome. Stay informed about the latest insights into preeclampsia, associated risks, and our ongoing research efforts to develop early detection methods and innovative treatments. Learn more here:
