miRNA PLACENTAL TRANSFER. “Small non-coding RNAs transfer through mammalian placenta and directly regulate fetal gene expression…we were surprised to find exogenous plant miRNAs in human umbilical cord blood and amniotic fluid. In conclusion, the present study provides the first evidence that small non-coding RNA can be transplacentally transmitted from the mother to the fetus.”
