Healthy Fetal and Placental Development
Objetivo
A newborn is truly a miracle! In the mother's womb, many factors work together to ensure healthy development for the baby. Scientists and doctors at USC/Children's Hospital Los Angeles are trying to understand how a baby's development in the womb impacts its health across its life. This helps us provide better therapies and treatments for babies with birth defects so that they can lead healthy lives.

About This Study
Children with birth defects also suffer from a spectrum of brain developmental delays. Early intervention in the form of therapy or treatment is important to ensure a better quality of life for babies born with birth defects. To provide successful therapy or treatment, it is important to identify those babies with the highest risk of developing brain delays. The first step to this is understanding how a healthy baby develops in the womb. This study has two goals. First, to find diagnostic markers that allow doctors to determine which babies are at highest risk for brain developmental delays by comparing to healthy development. Secondly, to identify mechanisms and time-points when treatments or therapies are most effective in minimizing brain delays.
