Scientists Discover Why Some Miscarriages Occur

Scientists are a step closer to a better understanding of the factors that may be at play when a miscarriage occurs. In a new study, researchers identified a potential new pathway that may influence a woman's risk of having a miscarriage.

Miscarriage is one of the most common pregnancy complications, with some estimates suggesting that possibly even half of all pregnancies result in miscarriage, since many likely happen before a woman realizes she is pregnant.
