UCSF scientists created a detailed map of maternal-fetal connections, identifying a new cell type linked to cannabis use and pregnancy complications.
UC San Francisco scientists have created the most detailed map to date of the biological connection between a pregnant woman and her developing baby.
Using advanced analysis, they identified a previously unknown maternal cell type that regulates placental invasion and carries a cannabinoid receptor.
This suggests a potential link between cannabis use and pregnancy complications.
The study also pinpointed cellular changes associated with preeclampsia, preterm birth, and miscarriage, providing a foundation for future treatments.
