This NIH-funded project studies extracellular vesicles as biomarkers and functional indicators of maternal mental and physical health during pregnancy and postpartum, particularly in women with adverse childhood experiences. It combines preclinical and human longitudinal studies to understand EV secretion mechanisms and their role in health outcomes.
Description
The project focuses on the role of extracellular vesicles in maternal health during pregnancy and postpartum, especially in women with adverse childhood experiences. The study involves both preclinical mouse models and a longitudinal human study. The research aims to identify mechanisms of EV secretion and their impact on health outcomes.
