Workshops are an important part of the IFPA annual meeting as they allow for discussion of specialized topics. At IFPA meeting 2016 there were twelve themed workshops, four of which are summarized in this report. These workshops addressed challenges, strengths and limitations of techniques and model systems for studying the placenta, as well as future directions for the following areas of placental...
Preeclampsia (PE) is characterized by an aberrant inflammatory response to pregnancy. A stressed and inflamed placenta will induce maternal systemic inflammation, leading to hypertension with proteinuria (i.e. PE). The harmful placental inflammation involves abnormal placental expression of danger-sensing pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Increased maternal cholesterol and uric acid levels are...
Preeclampsia is characterized by an aberrant inflammatory response to pregnancy, leading to hypertension and proteinuria after mid-gestation. Although the pathogenesis remains unclear, there is a strong association between abnormal placentation and excessive inflammation in preeclampsia. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) serve as sensors for danger signals and are crucial for initiating inflammation. The...
Pregnancy is considered a natural inflammatory condition, but pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and miscarriage are linked to excessive inflammation in the placenta. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) serve as sensors for danger signals and are crucial for initiating inflammation. A successful pregnancy depends on proper function of fetal trophoblasts, the main cell type in the placenta. We have...
