Placenta

Research Topic

Placenta is a newly formed organ during pregnancy, that shows multifunctional properties. It serves as an interface between the mother and the child and ensures continuous exchange of nutrients, gasses and metabolites. In addition, it prevents the rejection of the fetus by the maternal immune system and produces hormones and growth factors to maintain the pregnancy. Ultimately, acts as a barrier for xenobiotics, either by enzymatic deactivation or by exporting them back to the maternal circulation. However, some xenobiotics can be either accumulated and/or transferred through the placenta, potentially endangering the fetal development and health. With this project we aim to understand to what level ubiquitous environmental pollutants change the placental morphology and physiology. This will provide us with useful information regarding any involvement of environmental pollutants into maternal and fetal health complications.

Our scientists Dr. Nicole Meyer and Dr. Florence Fischer were invited to the podcast “Forschungsquartett” where they talked about the environmental chemicals we are exposed to every day, what potential dangers some of them pose and how the public, in particular pregnant women, can better protect themselves against them. As part of the “SAFE Challenge” project, the two scientists are also continuing to collect ideas until 30.11. on how to reach new target groups with the topic.

On 22/23.10.2024 the first CERES network meeting took place in Leipzig, which was organized by the LE-REP project. The two-day event was filled with insightful discussions, bringing together young scientists from across Germany in the field of reproductive health!

Autumn, here we come: Last month we held our annual department retreat where we strengthened the team spirit and productively discussed our department’s purpose and goals. We were guided by great moderators who always helped to create a good atmosphere.

Our dedicated scientists Nicole Meyer and Florence Fischer want to raise awareness about the risks of environmental chemicals and are calling for participation in the "SAFE" Crowd Innovation Challenge! Creative ideas to reach new target groups and identify effective communication channels can be submitted until November 30.

Further information on the challenge and participation is linked here.
