Serum Collected from Preeclamptic Pregnancies Drives Vasoconstriction of Human Omental Arteries—A Novel Ex Vivo Model of Preeclampsia for Therapeutic Development

New-onset maternal hypertension is a hallmark of preeclampsia, driven by widespread endothelial dysfunction and systemic vasoconstriction. Here, we set out to create a new ex vivo model using preeclamptic serum to cause injury to the endothelium, mimicking vascular dysfunction in preeclampsia and of...
