Folate Receptor Beta in the Immunopathogenesis of Preeclampsia

The award funds research on the role of folate receptor beta in preeclampsia, aiming to understand immune mechanisms and develop potential therapeutic targets to prevent or mitigate this pregnancy complication and its long-term cardiovascular effects on mothers.

Description

This project will study how a protein called folate receptor beta affects immune cells in the placenta and contributes to preeclampsia, a dangerous pregnancy complication. The findings could lead to new ways to prevent or treat this serious condition and improve maternal health.
