Extracellular vesicles from maternal uterine cells exposed to risk factors cause fetal inflammatory response

Abstract Background Fetal cell-derived exosomes (extracellular vesicles, 40–160 nm) are communication channels that can signal parturition by inducing inflammatory changes in maternal decidua and myometrium. Little is known about maternal cell-derived exosomes and their functional roles on the fetal...
