MicroRNAs: are they the missing link between hypoxia and pre-eclampsia?

Abstract excerpt

Pre-eclampsia is a multisystem disorder that occurs in the second half of pregnancy affecting 5% of pregnancies. It remains the leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity worldwide. Impaired placental implantation, hypoxia, endothelial dysfunction and systemic inflammation are thought to have a role in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs. They are...
