Does heat shock protein A12B protect against sepsis-induced impairment in vascular endothelial permeability?
HSPA12B plays a protective role in vascular endothelial barrier dysfunction by preserving the endothelial permeability during sepsis.
We report the first longitudinal study of the vaginal microbiota in normal pregnancy. Differences in the composition and stability of the microbial community between pregnant and non-pregnant women were observed. Lactobacillus spp. were the predominant members of the microbial community in normal pregnancy. These results can serve as the basis to study the relationship between the vaginal microbiome and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
