Temporal profile of blood cytokine levels and placental pathology in extremely preterm infants
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between placental pathology and the temporal profiles of “cytokine” (cytokines, chemokines and growth factors) levels in extremely preterm infants. Study design: A prospective cohort study of preterm infants born before 29 weeks gestational age (GA) and …

Role of Activated Macrophages and Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines in Placental Trophoblast Invasion and Fetal Outcome
… arteriole remodelling may result in excessive placental pathology leading to pre-eclampsia and intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR), which are major causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. These pregnancy complications have also been linked to an increased presence of …

Markers and mechanisms of pre-eclampsia in pregnancies complicated by diabetes
… kinase (sFlt-1) and soluble endoglin (sEng) from placental trophoblasts into the maternal circulation promotes endothelial dysfunction associated with pre-eclampsia. The aim of this thesis was to investigate whether modified lipoproteins and/or elevated glucose have a role in pre-eclampsia in …
