Epigenetic signatures of maternal-fetal health: insights from cord blood and placenta
23 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
The placenta is vital for fetal growth, and its methylation patterns reflect placental function, affecting the fetus and providing insights into disease origins. While cord blood methylation is convenient for assessing the fetal environment, methylation profiles vary by tissue due to variance in cell populations, function, and life stage. As tissue differences extensively contribute to the DNA methylation...
