The result, published January 5 in Science Immunology, suggests that the protein, a receptor involved in immune cell signaling, plays a role in spontaneous abortions and
other human pregnancy complications.
According to commentators reviewing Hunt's work in PLoS Genetics, the answers will be hard to tease out: Nearly one in five
human pregnancies ends in miscarriage, half of which are due to chromosomal abnormalities.
This work, led by Dr Myriam Hemberger at the Babraham Institute and the Centre for Trophoblast Research in Cambridge, UK, is one of the first to look at the effects of age on womb health and it is expected to lead to new research
into human pregnancies.

As for germline engineering that
produces human pregnancies, a pastiche of laws and regulations around the world address that issue — more than 40 countries have outlawed that option, but many others, including the United States, have not, with some restricting the practice in others ways, such as not allowing federal funding for clinical trials that involve such work.
Kisspeptins circulating in the blood increase dramatically during
normal human pregnancy, to several thousand times non-pregnancy levels, which makes them a novel predictive marker for assessing the risk of later complications.

For human pregnancies, we have very refined growth charts, lots of historical information, lots of high - end diagnostic technologies that can be used to ask what's happening,» O'Connor says.

An international group of 11 organizations with genetics expertise has issued a policy statement on germline genome editing in humans, which recommends against genome editing that culminates
in human pregnancy; supports publicly funded, in vitro research into its potential clinical applications; and outlines scientific and societal steps necessary before implementation of such clinical applications is considered.

Within a few months came the first claims — never substantiated — that
human pregnancies were under way with cloned embryos.
«We can learn a lot from the fact that pregnancies are quick in the mice and you can do much larger experiments, but in monkeys we can do experiments that are much more relevant to
human pregnancy,» he says.
«The more we understand about pregnancy in other species, the more likely it is that we can treat medical issues that arise during
human pregnancy.»
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA — The riskiest moment in
any human pregnancy is arguably when the fertilized egg attaches to the womb wall and tries to establish a lifeline between embryo and mother.
But the summit's organizers concluded that actually trying to produce
a human pregnancy from such modified germ cells or embryos, either through in vitro fertilization (IVF) with the sperm or eggs or the implantation of an embryo, is currently «irresponsible» because of ongoing safety concerns and a lack of societal consensus.
The shorter lifespan of mice means that they are useful for studying the effects of age on pregnancy but these results can not always be directly applied to
human pregnancies.
The mice exposed to particles were also randomly assigned for exposure during one of four gestational periods designed to mirror the stages of
human pregnancy: period 1 (0.5 - 5.5 days); period 2 (6.5 - 14.5 days); period 3 (14.5 - 16.5 days); or period 4 (0.5 - 16.5 days).
«This will add a new dimension to research into «liquid biopsies» and facilitate the clinical use of extracellular vesicles to inform the physiology and health of organs that are hard to access, such as the placenta during
human pregnancy,» said Yoel Sadovsky, director of the Magee - Womens Research Institute at the University of Pittsburgh.
The research complies with recommendations to study the basic cellular processes of genome editing, keeping an eye on possible future clinical use but only so long as the work does not attempt to create
a human pregnancy.
