For decades, scientists have understood that pregnancy requires a mother's body to modify so that her immune system does not fight the developing foetus as if it were a hostile foreign invader.
Despite knowing a lot more about pregnancy immunology in recent years, a new study demonstrates t
A team of scientists led by UCL academics has found new ways for predicting outcomes in pregnancies in which the baby is not developing normally inside the womb.
A group of scientists led by UCL researchers has developed new methods for predicting outcomes in pregnancies where the baby is not growing properly inside the womb.
A study found that pregnant women who live in walkable neighbourhoods with more sidewalks, parks and walking routes are more likely to engage in physical exercise and have safe pregnancies.
According to study, pregnant women who live in walkable communities with more sidewalks, parks, and walking paths, do more physical activity and are also more likely to have healthy pregnancies.
Researchers discovered genetic foundations that allow certain populations of highland mice to protect growing foetuses at higher elevations. The findings were published in the journal 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.'
In preclinical models, an investigational contraceptive medication created by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers temporarily inhibits sperm and prevents pregnancies. The study, which was published in Nature Communications on February 14, reveals the feasibility of on-demand male contraceptio
Scientists show reduced krill supplies lead to fewer pregnancies in humpback whales, a finding that could have major implications for industrial krill fishing. Data from Antarctica show more humpback whales get pregnant after years with abundant krill than after years when krill were less pl
