The Placental NLRP3 Inflammasome and Its Downstream Targets, Caspase-1 and Interleukin-6, Are Increased in Human Fetal Growth Restriction: Implications for Aberrant Inflammation-Induced Trophoblast Dysfunction

The Placental NLRP3 Inflammasome and Its Downstream Targets, Caspase-1 and Interleukin-6, Are Increased in Human Fetal Growth Restriction: Implications for Aberrant Inflammation-Induced Trophoblast Dysfunction

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is commonly associated with placental insufficiency and in-flammation. Nonetheless, the role played by inflammasomes in the pathogenesis of FGR is poorly un-derstood. We hypothesised that placental inflammasomes are differentially expressed and contribute to the aberra...
