Placenta study in healthy and complicated pregnancies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the placenta works in healthy pregnancies and in pregnancies with conditions like pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, or fetal growth restriction. It may help find new ways to detect or treat these problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how the body supports pregnancy in the early weeks and whether problems with that support can lead to complications. By tracking pregnancies from the start, researchers hope to find ways to predict and prevent issues like poor placental function.
This study looks at how cells in the placenta handle stress in pregnancies with complications like preeclampsia or poor fetal growth. It aims to understand why some placentas don't work well, which could lead to better treatments.
This study collects placenta tissue (or tissue from an abortion) from women at the Grenoble University Hospital to better understand pregnancy problems linked to the placenta. By participating, you help researchers learn more about conditions that affect pregnant women and their babies.
This study examines how the placenta works in normal pregnancies and in pregnancies with certain complications. Your answers and pregnancy information may help researchers understand why complications like growth problems or preterm birth happen.
This research study uses a special MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to look at blood flow in the placenta during pregnancy. The goal is to learn more about how the placenta works and find new ways to check on the health of both mom and baby.
This study looks at blood markers to find women at risk for placental problems during pregnancy. It involves blood tests in early and late pregnancy, and at birth, to see how iron levels and other factors affect the placenta and baby's health.
