PREECLAMPSIA IMPEDES FOETAL KIDNEY DEVELOPMENT BY DELIVERING PLACENTA-DERIVED EXOSOMES TO GLOMERULAR ENDOTHELIAL CELLS

Preeclampsia impedes foetal kidney development by delivering placenta-derived exosomes to glomerular endothelial cells

Abstract Background Foetal renal dysplasia is still the main cause of adult renal Sinus disease.Placenta-derived exosomes are an important communication tool, and they may play an important role in placental (both foetal and maternal) function.We hypothesize that in women with preeclampsia, foetal renal dysplasia is impeded by delivering placenta-d
