What Role Does Neuroangiogenesis Play in Pregnancy?
Neuroangiogenesis is vital for the development and maintenance of the placenta. The placenta requires an extensive vascular and neural network to support fetal growth and maternal-fetal exchange. Impaired neuroangiogenesis can lead to complications such as preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Additionally, neuroangiogenesis is involved in the remodeling of the uterine arteries, which is essential for a successful pregnancy.
