2025 BOR Research Paper of the Year
Dr. Johnson will present his work exploring the role of fetal cells-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in feto-maternal communication. His winning article demonstrated that in pigs, conceptus-derived EVs likely mediate the transport of interferon gamma protein into the endometrium to increase expression of interferon-stimulated genes and recruit T helper cells within the endometrial stroma that prepare the uterine endometrium for the early events of placentation.
