In the article “Modeling Preeclampsia: From 2D Cultures to Placenta-on-a-Chip Technologies,” Russian scientists have presented an overview of modern cellular models of preeclampsia—a dangerous pregnancy complication. The study covers two-dimensional and three-dimensional cultures, as well as advanced placenta-on-a-chip microfluidic technologies, allowing the examination of pathological mechanisms at the cellular level. The paper highlights the potential of CRISPR-Cas9 and personalized models for developing new diagnostic and therapeutic methods for preeclampsia. These advancements open prospects for more precise early diagnosis of preeclampsia and the creation of effective treatment strategies.

Russian Scientists Investigate the Immune Response to SARS-CoV-2 Variants
HSE University researchers assessed the effectiveness of the T-cell immune response to 11 variants of SARS-CoV-2. Their findings have been published in Nucleic Acids Research.
Hormones Can Help Brain Recover after Injury
An international team of researchers including Alexander Tonevitsky, Professor at HSE’s Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, found that pituitary hormones may produce different effects on the left and right sides of the body following a traumatic brain injury. These differences can accelerate the development of motor disorders. Researchers are trying to determine whether treatment that blocks the corresponding hormones can counteract these effects. The results of the study were published in the journal eLife.
HSE Researchers Discover Nucleotide Sequence Responsible for Effectively Fighting Pathologies
Researchers from HSE University have discovered nucleotide sequences characteristic of microRNA isoforms (microRNAs with errors). The discovery will help predict errors in microRNA behaviour and create drugs that can detect targets (such as viruses) more effectively. The results of the study have been published in the RNA Biology journal.
