A new study suggests that the lack of stem cells in the uterine wall may lead to recurrent miscarriage. "We have found that there are certain defects in the uterine wall of patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion," said Jan Brosens, leader of the research team, who is a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at Warwick University. “It is conceivable that we can achieve the desire to become pregnant by correcting these defects in patients. In fact, this may be the only way to prevent miscarriage in this situation,” Brosens said at a university press conference. 15% to 25% of pregnancies will end in miscarriage. Repeated abortion occurs in 1 of 100 mothers. Among them, the researchers point out that recurrent abortion means that three or more consecutive pregnancy ends in abortion. At the same time, scientists say stem cells have the potential to differentiate into many different types of cells. In the study, the team analyzed endometrial samples f...
