Christina Ferazzutti (Biomedical & Molecular Sciences) – Why One Complicated Pregnancy Can Lead to Another: The Role of Immune Memory

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a significant complication linked to uncontrolled inflammation, which not only causes immediate distress but also heightens risks in future pregnancies. It is hypothesized that inflammation during pregnancy induces long-term changes in maternal immune cells, altering their responses in subsequent pregnancies and increasing complications.
