- Abstract:
- The placenta is a vital organ that establishes a physiological connection between the mother and fetus throughout gestation. Its proper function is essential for fetal development, maternal adaptation, and maintaining a healthy pregnancy. Autophagy and inflammation play key roles in the molecular mechanisms that contribute to placental health and disease, which has wide-reaching implications for reproductive success. This thesis explores the biological background, significance, and interaction of these two processes in human pregnancy. It highlights their roles in normal physiology and their contribution to pregnancy-related complications.
