Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue, titled “Molecular Research in Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Related Complications”, aims to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms of pregnancy complications. Our objective is to clarify the emerging role of different molecular pathways in the principal diseases associated with pregnancy, including preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome, gestational diabetes, preterm labor, fetal growth restriction, placenta previa, recurrent pregnancy loss, stillbirth. We believe that only understanding the biological process it is possible to identify new biomarkers that can be used in clinical practice in order to recognize at-risk patients. Moreover, focusing the attention on the principal pathways involved in the different disease it is achievable the hypothesis of new treatment strategies. This Special Issue aims to collect original articles, reviews and other contributions on the latest studies on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the pregnancy-related diseases, including their application in diagnostic, terapeutic and prognostic fields.
