A nice Preprint paper to start off the year on the placenta and shared developmental pathways with the heart.

Authors: "the molecular and physiological associations between the embryonic heart and developing placenta are increasingly evident"

The authors "review the clinical, structural, and molecular relationships between congenital heart defects (sic) and placental dysfunction..."

AJOG article out in January 2023:

Key point: “provided proof of principle of how noninvasive methods suitable for point-of-care systems can select high-risk cases among women with preterm labor and might substantially aid in clinical management and outcomes while improving the use of resources and patient experience”

One word: Definitely

Meta-Research: The need for more research into reproductive health and disease.

Key points:
“…the number of grants for research on non-reproductive organs is 6–7 times higher than the number for reproductive organs.”

“…funders, educators and the research community must take action to combat this longstanding disregard for reproductive science.”

Quite a finding with implications for litter bearing species.

Key point: "A crucial finding was the greater variability in both primordial follicles in the ovaries from females derived from male-biased litters and stromal cell count in the endometrium of females from male- and female- biased litters. This could be inflating the variability of reproductive success seen in females from male-biased litters."
