TL;DR: The major viral infections relevant to pregnancy are reviewed and potential mechanisms for the associated adverse pregnancy outcomes are offered.

TL;DR: The Chromosome-Centric Human Proteome Project for cataloging proteins encoded in the genome is a large-scale effort to catalog all the proteins in the human genome.

TL;DR: The present understanding of the ‘immunity of pregnancy’ in the context of the response to cervical and placental infections and how these responses affect both the mother and the fetus is discussed.

TL;DR: It is shown that locally generated IGF2 at either ischemic or tumor sites may contribute to postnatal vasculogenesis by augmenting the recruitment of EPCs and may therefore be useful for the development of novel means to treat angiogenesis-dependent diseases.

TL;DR: In GDM pregnancies, determining maternal serum triglyceride levels during midpregnancy may help identify women likely to give birth to LGA newborns and after adjusting for confounding variables including prepregnancy body mass index, weight gain during pregnancy, age, and parity, maternal hypertriglyceridemia at 24–32 weeks' gestation remained an independent parameter for identifying term LGA babies.
