From the authors: “In the present study, we observed that the expression of genes encoding for several ion channels was altered in placentas from preeclamptic compared with normotensive women living at high altitudes.”

This study is highlighted as one of September’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society's APSselect program.
