The team from the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Slovakia investigated the impact of maternal immune activation (MIA) on hippocampal pyramidal neurons in newborn rat offspring. Planning A Sleep-Cation?

Anything that activates this inflammatory cascade too early—what’s known as aberrant immune activation—can result in the premature separation of the maternal and fetal placental layers, ultimately ...

A new study reveals that inflammation during pregnancy may impair neurodevelopment in infants by reducing CD11c-positive microglia—key immune cells that support brain myelination.

Reflecting maternal environmental exposition and ... depends on transitioning from a tolerogenic state to a phase of immune activation, while both systemic and secretory immune functions mature.

“For the first time, we have shown that brain organoids can be used to model the effects of maternal immune activation on brain development and that our results are generally coherent with mouse ...

suggest new strategies to mitigate the long-term neurodevelopmental effects of maternal inflammation. Inflammation during pregnancy occurs when the mother's immune system becomes activated during ...
