Approximately 15 percent of all pregnancies end in miscarriages. This can be devastating for women who suffer multiple miscarriages when trying to conceive. There are many factors responsible for the loss of life in unborn children, but recent studies have linked stem cells to the underlying cause, especially in situation where multiple miscarriages occur.
Specialized researchers have found common ground between certain miscarriages and a shortage of stem cells in the lining of the womb. It has been found that with a lack of cells present in the womb, the lining ages faster and causes the fetus to die. These conclusions were the findings in a study that analysed the tissue samples of the womb lining of 183 women. Biopsies of samples that had multiple miscarriages were found to have less overall stem cells when compared to samples that had no birth complications.
This is potentially groundbreaking news for women who have experienced fertility problems in the past, or are currently having trouble becoming pregnant. Although the studies are in their infancy, a clear link has been established, which will lead to more focused studies in the coming years.
