What is it about?
Human mesenchymal stem cells isolated from the pos-partum umbilical cord-Wharton Jelly mirror deleterious effects of obesity and diabetes during pregnancy

Why is it important?
We have identified a stem cell system, located at the maternal-fetal interface that reflect metabolic changes in pregnancy
Perspectives
It is possible, by studying these cell populations, to investigate the fetal programming, therefore getting insight into transmission mechanisms of cardio-metabolic risk to offspring
