  • Microchimerism: Lifelong Biological Connections Impacting Everyone

    Diagnostics World News | During pregnancy, the cells of a fetus make their way into the tissues of mom where they can persist for decades, much like what happens when someone gets an organ transplant but to a far tinier extent. That the maternal-fetal exchange results in chimerism—more specifically, “microchimerism”—is a relatively little-known yet fascinating and profoundly common biological phenomenon.
