Nanoparticle-mediated transgene expression of <i>insulin-like growth factor 1</i> in the growth restricted guinea pig placenta increases placenta nutrient transporter expression and fetal glucose concentrations
2021-06-25
Abstract excerpt
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) significantly contributes to neonatal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Currently, there are no effective treatment options for FGR during pregnancy. We have developed a nanoparticle gene therapy targeting the placenta to increase expression of human insulin-like growth factor 1 ( hIGF-1 ) to correct fetal growth trajectories. Using the maternal nutrient restriction (MNR) guin...
