Decreased <i>STAT3</i> in human idiopathic fetal growth restriction contributes to trophoblast dysfunction
26 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
Abnormal trophoblast function is associated with fetal growth restriction (FGR). The JAK-STAT pathway is one of the principal signalling mechanisms by which cytokines and growth factors modulate cell proliferation, differentiation, cell migration and apoptosis. The expression of placental JAK-STAT genes in human idiopathic FGR is unknown. In this study, we propose the hypothesis that JAK-STAT pathway genes are...
