How did mammal placental diversity evolve? miRNAs play a significant role - indeed their repertoire is predictive of phenotype. Congrats to all: esp 1st author @jfennbio.bsky.social & all in @niamhforde.bsky.social group. Thanks to @ukri.org and @leverhulme.ac.uk. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Mammal placental phenotypes are predictable from microRNA repertoires.
Despite >100 million years of mammal diversification, similar placental morphologies have independently evolved multiple times, presenting a long-standing evolutionary puzzle: what genetic mechanisms ...

An evolutionarily conserved microRNA, miR-185, regulates key pathways that may contribute to implantation failure.
Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is defined after three or more good quality embryo transfers following in vitro fertilisation without a successful pregnancy outcome. Many factors contribute to RI...
