New paper 🌟✨
We found that some placentas age too early in stillbirth - linked to circular RNAs, DNA damage, and cell stress.
Crucially, these signals can show up early in pregnancy, in blood.
Small molecules, big clues!

Circular RNAs accumulate in aging human placental tissue and in stillbirth, leading to DNA damage and cellular senescence

Premature placental aging, driven by early accumulation of circular RNAs, may compromise fetal nourishment and increase stillbirth risk, highlighting potential for earlier detection and intervention. doi.org/hbgkz6
