Journal ArticleDOI
An elevated fetal interleukin-6 concentration can be observed in fetuses with anemia due to Rh alloimmunization: implications for the understanding of the fetal inflammatory response syndrome
Edi Vaisbuch,Roberto Romero,Ricardo Gomez,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Shali Mazaki-Tovi,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Sonia S. Hassan +6 more
TL;DR: An elevation in fetal plasma IL-6 can be observed in a subset of fetuses with anemia due to Rh alloimmunization, which suggests that the hallmark of FIRS can be caused by non-infection-related insults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of novel functional sequence variants in the gene for peptidase inhibitor 3.
Mahboob A Chowdhury,Helena Kuivaniemi,Roberto Romero,Roberto Romero,Samuel S. Edwin,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,Gerard Tromp +7 more
TL;DR: Functional promoter variants provide a possible mechanism for explaining the differences in PI3 mRNA expression levels in the chorioamniotic membranes, and are also likely to be useful in elucidating the role of PI3 in other diseases.

TL;DR: There is not consistent evidence for placental and fetal microbiota in mice using culture, qPCR, and DNA sequencing including the magnitude of intra-amniotic microbial load required to cause disease and their potential influence on the ontogeny of the immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preterm labor is characterized by a high abundance of amniotic fluid prostaglandins in patients with intra-amniotic infection or sterile intra-amniotic inflammation.
Hassendrini N. Peiris,Roberto Romero,Kanchan Vaswani,Sarah Reed,Nardhy Gomez-Lopez,Nardhy Gomez-Lopez,Adi L. Tarca,Adi L. Tarca,Adi L. Tarca,Dereje W. Gudicha,Dereje W. Gudicha,Offer Erez,Offer Erez,Offer Erez,Eli Maymon,Eli Maymon,Eli Maymon,Murray D. Mitchell +17 more
TL;DR: Mass spectrometric analysis of amniotic fluid indicated that amniotics fluid concentrations of prostaglandins, but no prostamides, were higher in women with preterm labor and intra-amniotic infection than in other patients with an episode of pre term labor.
