Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Fetal progenitor cells may cross the placenta during pregnancy, persist for decades in the maternal bloodstream, and find a microenvironment conducive to colonization in a variety of maternal solid organs. Whether extracardiac fetal progenitors are present in the heart of women with male issue is unknown. METHODS: The hearts from 2 non-pregnant women who had given birth to 2 and 3 male children,...
