MAFF may cause aging in womb lining cells by reducing antioxidant defenses in repeated pregnancy loss

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) affects approximately 1-5% of couples.

• The underlying causes of RPL are not well understood.
• Aberrant cellular aging in the tissue of the uterus may be linked to pregnancy loss.
• The specific molecular processes that regulate this abnormal aging in the uterus are largely unknown.
• Understanding these mechanisms could provide insights into RPL pathogenesis.
