The role of c-jun n-terminal kinase (JNK) and tumour protein (p53) in HIV associated pre-eclampsia.
(2017)Background: In pre-eclampsia, immune maladaptation to the foetal allograft results in impaired trophoblast invasion and defective spiral arterial remodelling with consequential placental oxidative stress. Placental apoptosis ... -
