Journal ArticleDOI
Cutting Edge: Fetal/Placental Type I IFN Can Affect Maternal Survival and Fetal Viral Load during Viral Infection.
Karen Racicot,Paulomi Aldo,Ayman El-Guindy,Ja Young Kwon,Ja Young Kwon,Roberto Romero,Gil Mor +6 more
TL;DR: The role of fetal/placental IFN in the modulation of viral infection in the mother and fetus and an embryo with functional IFN signaling alone was sufficient to rescue the pregnant IFNAR−/− dam from virus-associated demise are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
The frequency and clinical significance of intra-amniotic inflammation in women with preterm uterine contractility but without cervical change: do the diagnostic criteria for preterm labor need to be changed?
Sun Min Kim,Roberto Romero,JoonHo Lee,Seung Mi Lee,Chan-Wook Park,Joong Shin Park,Bo Hyun Yoon +6 more
TL;DR: Questions are asked whether cervical changes should be required for the diagnosis of preterm labor, because patients without modifications in cervical status on admission or during a period of observation are at risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nuclear factor-kappa B localization and function within intrauterine tissues from term and preterm labor and cultured fetal membranes
Sonali Vora,Asad Abbas,C. J. Kim,C. J. Kim,Taryn Summerfield,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Jay D. Iams,Roberto Romero,Roberto Romero,Douglas A. Kniss,William E. Ackerman +11 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the decidua is an important site of NF-kappaB regulation in fetal membranes, and that mechanisms other than cytoplasmic sequestration may limit NF- kappaB activation prior to term.
Journal ArticleDOI
A link between a hemostatic disorder and preterm PROM: a role for tissue factor and tissue factor pathway inhibitor.
Offer Erez,Jimmy Espinoza,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Francesca Gotsch,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Nandor Gabor Than,Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Edi Vaisbuch,Zoltán Papp,Bo Hyun Yoon,Yu Mi Han,Debra Hoppensteadt,Jawed Fareed,Sonia S. Hassan,Roberto Romero +14 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that PPROM is associated with specific changes in the hemostatic/coagulation system and median plasma concentrations of tissue factor and TFPI are higher than in women with normal pregnancies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fetal T Cell Activation in the Amniotic Cavity during Preterm Labor: A Potential Mechanism for a Subset of Idiopathic Preterm Birth.
Nardhy Gomez-Lopez,Roberto Romero,Yi Xu,Derek Miller,Marcia Arenas-Hernandez,Valeria Garcia-Flores,Bogdan Panaitescu,Jose Galaz,Chaur-Dong Hsu,Robert Para,Stanley M. Berry +10 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided showing that the fetal immune system undergoes premature activation in women with preterm labor without intra-amniotic inflammation, providing a potential new mechanism of disease for some cases of idiopathic preterm birth.
