The role of proteoglycans in contributing to placental thrombosis and fetal growth restriction

胎儿生长受限(FGR)是指胎儿在子宫内发育不良(�)的妊娠并发症。生长受限的婴儿更有可能死产。这些婴儿在以后的生活中也面临着肥胖、糖尿病和心脏病等问题的风险。这项研究调查了胎盘中可能导致FGR的分子。如果我们能够了解这些分子是如何导致FGR问题的，我们可能会找到更好的治疗或预防方法。

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a pregnancy complication in which the baby doesn�t grow properly in the womb. Growth restricted babies are much more likely to be stillborn. These babies are also at risk of problems later in life such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease. This study investigates molecules in the placenta that may be responsible for causing FGR. If we can understand how these molecules cause the problem of FGR, we may be able to find better ways of treating or preventing it.
