Excited to share our paper, part of my thesis, in @eLife! We show the potential of immune mediators in forecasting #pretermbirth. Want to learn about biomarkers in predicting pregnancy outcomes? Click here: doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… #PRBTeam @nardhygomez @KevinRTheis @AdiTarca

Are you working with pregnant mice? Have you considered their microbiotas? You should! Check out our new @JournalSpectrum study: bit.ly/3OVywbb @KevinRTheis @nardhygomez @AJOGEd_RR #PRBteam @NICHD_NIH @i_am_intramural @waynemedicine @WSUResearch

Scientists applied a multifaceted approach to characterize immune responses taking place in expectant mothers with #COVID19, their fetuses, and their placentas. @derektm9 @valeriaqbp @nardhygomez #scicomm #openscience Let's break it down: ow.ly/j0Y850JYbNq

Little is known about IFNe in pregnancy. Our new @HeliyonJournal study explores the expression of this unique interferon and suggests a role in intra-amniotic infection leading to preterm birth: bit.ly/IFNepsilon @nardhygomez #PRBteam #NGLlab @NICHD_NIH @i_am_intramural

Very excited to share with you our paper showing the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy. Not only the mother (even if asymptomatic) responds to the infection, but also the fetus and the placenta. #PRBteam nature.com/articles/s4146…

A mighty research team @waynestate have discovered that the COVID-19 infection during pregnancy may cause inflammatory immune responses in the fetus, even if the virus does not infect the placenta. #NIH #MaternalFetal #COVIDinPregnancy today.wayne.edu/medicine/news/…

Congratulations Emma! This is an excellent assay for rapidly evaluating the presence of intra-amniotic microbial invasion. @nardhygomez #NICHD #PRB twitter.com/EmmaGraffice/s…

Another example of maternal-fetal crosstalk: immune cells uptake fetal antigens in the maternal circulation. Want to know more? Click here: bit.ly/3EOmI6r and watch our summary video: facebook.com/1208295145/vid… Published @jlb_journal @leukocytebiol by @nardhygomez #PRB

New study in @BiolReprod from the Perinatology Research Branch @NICHD_NIH shows that human labor can be monitored in the maternal circulation. These genes may help identify women at risk for preterm delivery. bit.ly/PTBGene @AdiTarca @AJOGEd_RR @nardhygomez #PRBteam
