Advances in Maternal-Fetal Biomedicine

by Marcelo Gonzalez-Ortiz (Author)

This edited volume aims to describe physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie human maternal-fetal interactions. The book emphasizes the structure and development of the fetoplacental unit, the endocrine and nutritional regulation of fetal development, nitric oxide signaling, solute carriers function, and ion channels regulation in healthy pregnancies and diseases, like preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and maternal obesity, among others. Also, we highlight novel mechanisms associated with language impairment in children, the use of serotonin inhibitors or cannabis during pregnancy, and maternal conditions’ potential impact on cerebrovascular development in newborns and infants. The cellular and molecular understanding of maternal-fetal physiology and pathophysiology will allow the readers to understand the impact of diseases or conditions that are highly prevalent in pregnant women.

Are you interested in understanding the complex and fascinating world of maternal-fetal interactions? If so, then “Physiological and Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Maternal-Fetal Interactions” by Marcelo Gonzalez-Ortiz is the perfect book for you.

In this edited volume, Gonzalez-Ortiz explores the physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie human maternal-fetal interactions. The book provides a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the structure and development of the fetoplacental unit, as well as the endocrine and nutritional regulation of fetal development. It also delves into specific topics such as nitric oxide signaling, solute carriers function, and ion channels regulation in both healthy pregnancies and various diseases, including preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and maternal obesity.

What sets this book apart is its focus on novel mechanisms associated with language impairment in children, the use of serotonin inhibitors or cannabis during pregnancy, and the potential impact of maternal conditions on cerebrovascular development in newborns and infants. By exploring these cutting-edge topics, the author offers a fresh perspective on the field of maternal-fetal physiology and pathophysiology.

One of the key strengths of this book is its cellular and molecular approach. Gonzalez-Ortiz provides a detailed understanding of the underlying mechanisms and processes that drive maternal-fetal interactions, allowing readers to gain insight into the impact of diseases and conditions that are highly prevalent in pregnant women.

Whether you are a healthcare professional, researcher, or simply interested in learning more about the intricate workings of pregnancy, “Physiological and Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Maternal-Fetal Interactions” is a valuable resource. The book combines scientific rigor with accessible language, making it suitable for both experts in the field and those new to the subject.

By reading this book, you will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of maternal-fetal interactions and their role in ensuring a healthy pregnancy and fetal development. You will also be equipped with knowledge about the potential risks and challenges that can arise during pregnancy, allowing you to make informed decisions and provide better care for expectant mothers.
